The incumbent has had ample opportunity to deliver—but New Yorkers, and their wallets, are still waiting. Rather than reward him with a sixth term, Drew is running for State Comptroller to give New Yorkers a real choice—and a chance for badly needed change.

Drew brings a fresh perspective, big ideas, and an extraordinary combination of government, private-sector, and nonprofit experience—a proven record of tackling entrenched problems and delivering results. From leading one of the biggest rebuilding efforts New York has ever seen—the World Trade Center—to expanding renewable energy and affordable housing across the country—solving our most intractable problems is Drew’s driving force. 

A lifelong New Yorker, Drew grew up with his two sisters (he is a triplet) one block south of East Harlem. A view north and one south gave him a visceral insight into one of the starkest divides in New York. A witness to the random and sometimes not random distribution of power, wealth and a fair shake.

For the last five years, Drew has taken on the affordable housing crisis, as Chief Operating Officer and then as co-CEO of Enterprise Community Partners, where he helped lead a nonprofit that has created and preserved more than 1 million affordable homes.
