Spitzer declined to comment for this story, but he has said that his decision to run for governor comes at a time of much-needed reform for the state.
“I bring people together whether they like it or not and we tackle complex problems—not with band-aid solutions, but with major reform and real change,” he said.
Sloan said that while Spitzer didn’t wear a political future on his sleeve, a public-policy career was clearly in his cards.
“I think it was always obvious that Eliot would be involved in public issues and make a serious contribution to pressing public matters,” he said.
