State Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar’s newly announced run for city comptroller is raising eyebrows in Big Apple political circles.
“She just jumps from one position to another trying to find her footing and wants to climb that political ladder,” one Democratic operative said, “plus she gives the mayor full throated support and that’s what he rewards.” “New Yorkers don’t like to see their leaders squabbling and fighting,” she said, adding, ”New Yorkers want to see leaders working together to solve problems — and I will be able to do that very effectively with the Adams administration.”
Her wardrobe of 50-plus crimson outfits — including running gear — came later in her career and garnered attention as the so-called lady in red. “I just think that she’s lacking the sensitivity and ability to read the room,” the Assemblymember said, adding that in order to mount a successful bid for comptroller, Rajkumar “has some restoring to do.”
Her harshest critic called the Adams-Rajkumar pairing a “carpetbagger attracting another carpetbagger” and said she’s using her “full-throated support” to ascend the political ladder.
