John C. Liu
The New York City Comptroller From 2001 – 2009, John Liu served as a member of the New York City Council representing District 20 in Queens. Throughout his tenure, he also served as Chair of the Transportation Committee, focusing public policy on the critical role transportation options play in economic development and access to jobs.

John Liu is a proud product of New York City public schools beginning with kindergarten at P.S. 20 in Queens through to the Bronx High School of Science, followed by Binghamton University, where he earned his degree in Mathematical Physics. He resides in Flushing, Queens with his wife, Jenny, and their son, Joseph. He also actively served on the Committees on Education, Consumer Affairs, Contracts, Health, Land Use, Lower Manhattan Redevelopment and Oversight & Investigation, as well as on the Executive Board of the Black, Latino & Asian Caucus. The first Asian American elected in New York City – both to legislative office in 2001 and a citywide post in 2009 – were marked milestones for Asian Americans in the city and across the nation.
