349: The One NYC Race That Could Change How $300 Billion Gets Spent
from Immigrantly · host Immigrantly Media
Saadia Khan sits down with Raj Goyle, whose parents came from India with a few dollars and a medical degree. His mom was the only female OB in Wichita shut out by the establishment, so she built her own referral network with Filipino and Vietnamese immigrant doctors. Raj took a different path: civil rights lawyer, ACLU after 9/11, state legislator, tech founder. Now he's in New York challenging a 20-year incumbent for State Comptroller.And he's got receipts: the current office is spending $1 billion in Wall Street fees that aren't growing your pension. It's proactively buying Palantir stock with your money. And there's a utility regulator in Albany cooking the books on your electric bill that nobody will touch.Oh, and his 83-year-old mother, naturalized for nearly 50 years, is scared she'll be deported.This is the race.
