DiNapoli Faces First Democratic Primary Since 2007 for $300 Billion Pension Post

Summary
Thomas DiNapoli is confronting his first Democratic primary challenge in nearly two decades in Tuesday’s race for New York comptroller.
Two Democrats—Drew Warshaw, a nonprofit executive focused on affordable housing, and Raj Goyle, a lawyer and former Kansas state lawmaker—are trying to unseat him.
The challenge centers on the comptroller’s control of New York’s $300 billion pension fund, one of the state’s most powerful financial posts.
Rivals are betting progressive momentum from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s November victory can break through against an incumbent who has not faced a primary since 2007.
