Mike’s Record:

Mike is the only Democrat running for president who has raised taxes on the wealthy by persuading a Republican legislature to vote for tax increases.

Under Mike’s leadership, New York City had one of the most progressive tax structures in the nation. Mike earned bipartisan support to increase taxes on the wealthiest individuals, raising an additional $400 million per year. This aided New York City’s emergence from a post-9/11 budget crisis, avoided mass layoffs and helped many young, elderly and low-income residents.
