DECEMBER 2024 -  Paul S. Ryan talked with City & State about his busy first year as executive director of the New York City Campaign Finance Board, a role he’s been in since February.  Ryan says it’s his dream job, and he’s had time to figure out a strategic plan for the agency.

“We take very seriously our responsibility of administering our programs, including the matching funds program, in a nonpartisan way, in a way that’s fair and in a way that protects the resources, the dollars that taxpayers trust us with,” said Ryan the day after the board announced its first matching funds payments of the cycle. 

“One of the defining characteristics of New York City’s program is that the law requires this agency to continually evaluate the program. We have to publish two reports every couple of years assessing how the program is working, both our voter analysis report and a post-election report,” he said. 

“The constant evolution makes this a really exciting place to work,” added Ryan.
