Drew Warshaw launched a site highlighting $20B in unclaimed funds. He says it’s time New Yorkers got their money back—no delays, no red tape.
New York, NY (May 27, 2025) – COMPTROLLER WATCH: Democratic comptroller candidate Drew Warshaw is launching a website today highlighting the state’s unclaimed funds — a $20 billion pot of money that incumbent Tom DiNapoli’s office controls. Warshaw, who signaled this month he plans a long-shot bid to primary DiNapoli, wants to call attention to the sizable chunk of New Yorkers’ change. Warshaw is positioning himself as someone who will get the cash back to people faster — even as DiNapoli touts the $274.6 million returned so far this year. — Nick Reisman
