With the June primary approaching, plenty of attention has been focused on the race for mayor. But there’s an important and highly competitive contest on the undercard: the race for City Comptroller. What does the comptroller do and why should New Yorkers care?

NY1’s Errol Louis decided to talk more about the job with two former comptrollers who were major players in New York’s political arena — Liz Holtzman and Bill Thompson.

A former congresswoman and district attorney, Holtzman served as a city comptroller from 1990 to 1993, while Thompson held the job from 2002 to 2009. They discussed the qualities voters should look for in the next comptroller, emphasizing the need for intelligence, honesty, experience and innovation. Both guests also reflected on their biggest achievements.
