Mayor David Dinkins

"In tough times we need somebody like Billy Thompson on our side, he understands the struggle most middle class families face today"

Congressman Charles “Charlie” Rangel
Dean of the New York Congressional Delegation
Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee

“As comptroller he's reached out to the community. He's looked for peace, tranquility, and unity. He brought together our party. He's just a symbol of everything we want for mayor of this great city”.


Congressman Anthony Weiner

"More than ever, we need a strong voice for all New Yorkers in City Hall. Bill Thompson will be that voice as Mayor. He has always recognized that New York is a city of five boroughs with dozens of unique neighborhoods that all contribute to our collective success. That's why I am supporting Bill Thompson."


Fernando Ferrer
Former Bronx Borough President

“New York City needs Bill Thompson because he cares about working families, he cares about the struggling middle class, he cares about the parents and kids in our public school system. He’ll create good paying jobs, he’ll build more affordable housing and he’ll ensure that every child receives a quality education. I am proud to stand with Bill Thompson and endorse him for mayor."


Ruben Diaz Jr.
Bronx Borough President

“I consider myself lucky to count Bill Thompson as one of my friends, and I know he is the best choice for the next mayor of New York City. As comptroller, Bill has been a tireless watchdog of government waste, bringing more accountability to our City’s finances, and has been a national leader in the fight against predatory mortgage leaders. Bill has the knowledge and the temperament to be a strong leader for all New Yorkers and I urge not just Bronxites, but residents of all five boroughs, to support my friend Bill Thompson for mayor."
