As we get closer to the September 15th elections, many candidates for various positions in the New York City government are on their election grind, talking to as many people as they can before the big day.

One of the most important races is the one for New York City Comptroller. This blogger's two favorite candidates are Melinda Katz and John Liu. What are they doing now, during the final hours?

John Liu is easy to track. Liu keeps updating his Twitter page with every move he makes during the day. About an hour ago, Liu tweeted that he was meeting Assemblymember Adriano Espaillat in Manhattan.

Liu is also willing to forfiet sleep. "Sleep is overrated. We've got to be out here, campaigning, talking to voters, talking about the issues," as Liu stated on NY1 News during Labor Day weekend.

Melinda Katz doesn't update her Twitter as often, though it would be nice. However Katz has been using her voice to woo voters. It was discovered eariler in the week that Katz is willing to sing to her potential voters. Katz sang "God Bless America" to patrons of the Haber House senior center last week.

Here is a video of Katz singing with the Queens Symphony Orchestra this summer:
Twitter and serenades make these candidates a little bit more human, but only the votes will tell if this will work to get them in the Comptrolller's office.
