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.
I’m a native New Yorker & I like my leaders with grit, integrity & executive realness. That’s why I support @stringer2013 for Comptroller.
