HeadlineJul 08, 2013

Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has announced a political comeback. Spitzer says he will run for city comptroller in New York City’s upcoming civic elections. He was forced to resign as governor in 2008 over his patronage of a prostitution ring. Before then, Spitzer also served as New York state attorney general, where he was known as the “Sheriff of Wall Street” for his pursuit of prosecutions and investigations against big banks.
