Lena Dunham Endorses Scott Stringer

Lena Dunham, native New Yorker, has spoken.

The writer, director and producer of the HBO series “Girls”, took to Twitter on Thursday to announce who she supports in the hot race for the city’s third most important municipal office — New York City Comptroller.

Just to make sure we understand the full meaning of her decision, Dunham included a handy link.

The race for the New York City Comptroller’s Office escalated when former governor Eliot Spitzer announced that he would be challenging Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in the upcoming elections.
