Daily News | Controller candidate drops out of race as City Democratic Committee nears endorsement
City Controller candidate Jack Inacker dropped out of the race Wednesday morning after Acting Controller Christy Brady received overwhelming support from a Democratic City Committee panel.
Former U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, who leads the Democratic City Committee, told The Inquirer that its policy committee overwhelmingly recommended endorsing Christy Brady.He called her a “pretty qualified lady” and touted her longevity and experience with the controller’s office, saying she “started at the bottom and worked her way up.” Brady has been with the controller’s office for nearly three decades.
She met with the city Democratic Party’s policy committee in January but said she didn’t declare candidacy or seek the party’s endorsement. Inacker triggered a Board of Ethics rule that doubled the amount a controller candidate could raise after he contributed more than $250,000 of his own money to his campaign. Though he’s out of the race, that rule remains in place.Karen Javaruski, a committeperson and treasurer for the 31st Ward, was the first candidate in the race. She has worked in banking for more than 20 years and is an enterprise risk-management professional for Citi.
