Yesterday on the steps of City Hall, District 1 City Councilmember Alan Gerson won another endorsement, that of Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum. They were joined at the event by members of Workers United, Local 23-25. A press release from the campaign said, “The New York Times described (Gerson) as an “honorable public servant.” True – yet the Times endorsed one of his four challengers, PJ Kim. Here’s what Gotbaum had to say:
yes indeed as Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum said Alan J Gerson could provide more developments to people.

Gotbaum endorses Gerson. OMG. That is one desperate campaign. Totally amusing
This is one fun political summer
It is generally recognized by almost everyone that Betsey Gotbaum has not done the best job as PA over the years and is a 3rd rate player. It therefore comes as no surprise she would endorse Alan, another 3rd rate player with an appalling record of attendance in the council (7th worst) and a record of voting almost lockstep with Bloomberg on almost every issue including voting himself a possible 3rd term.
I love it!
Betsy Gotbaum is the reason so many people want to abolish the office of public advocate.
No one has seen hide nor hair of Betsy in eight years and she finally makes an appearance in the twilight of here term to support Gerson.
Well, that makes sense. Gerson’s constituents haven’t seen much of him in eight years either.
This is the Invisible Woman endorsing the Invisible Man.
