NY1: Mark Green To Run For Public Advocate Again

2009_02_markgreen.jpg Mark Green, who served at NYC Public Advocate between 1994 and 2001, will run for the position this fall, according to NY1. Green, who won the Democratic nod in the 2001 mayoral election but fell against Michael Bloomberg, currently serves as president of Air America (which is owned by his brother, real estate developer Stephen Green). He said, "Given the extraordinary economic crisis, it's especially urgent that the person who's the next public advocate, the number two citywide office holder, the investigator of city services, be a person who's shown that he or she can get results and have innovative ideas, has a track record, and understands how to make New York a cutting edge, 21st century city." The P.A. race is heating up: City Council member Bill De Blasio already announced his candidacy and other Democrats interested are Council members Eric Gioia and John Liu.
