Whitney Tilson: “I'm the only candidate talking at all about our school…”

“I'm proud of the campaign I've run focused on dealing with affordability, especially housing, where I'm the only candidate who's been saying unleash the private sector about crime and safety. I'm the only candidate who's been saying make crime illegal again. And I'm the only candidate talking at all about our school system, which is the biggest part of our budget, where we're letting our kids down, spend more than any other city in the country, and not delivering anything commensurate in terms of quality education for our kids. I'm also proud of the last month of the campaign where I pivoted to warning New Yorkers about the dangers of electing a 33 year old, inexperienced, unqualified radical socialist and his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America.” (00:25–00:39)
