Skidmore College business professor Minita Sanghvi will be the Democratic party’s nominee for city finance commissioner, she and party officials announced last week.
Sanghvi and Republican Joanne Kiernan will be competing in the November election for the part-time position overseeing the city finances, which is open this year with incumbent Democrat Michele Madigan’s decision not to seek re-election, after a decade in office.
The city’s finances have generally been strong over the years, but they took a hard hit over the last year, with millions of dollars in losses due to business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a statement, Sanghvi acknowledged the city faces major challenges.
