"My parents relied heavily on their pensions, especially later in their lives when they were challenged with heart disease and cancer. I will never forget that as New York City Comptroller, we are not just seeking a positive return on investments; we are investing for people like my parents and millions of New Yorkers' retirement and well-being to secure their future in good health and in challenging times.
My experience working with a myriad of investment products, audit and governance affords me a unique perspective on what is needed to optimize pension fund performance and operational effectiveness of our city agencies."
"I am John Burnett and I am asking for your support for Comptroller of New York City. "
