Brian Romero, Crowdfunding for Rent and New York Ethics
Brian Romero, a Democratic nominee for New York's 34th Assembly District, faced criticism for launching a crowdfunding page to pay for rent and groceries despite a previous six-figure salary. Romero had to leave his role as a senior advisor to Senator Kristen Gonzalez due to ethics rules once he became a candidate. The hosts mock Romero for being unable to manage a personal budget while seeking a role responsible for the state's finances.
