Senior Democratic strategist Howard Wolfson today announced he will be joining Mayor Bloomberg's re-election campaign as a senior communications advisor.
"Around the time of the term limits extension, the mayor's team reached out to me and suggested I might be interested in coming on,'' Wolfson told NY1. "I was supportive of the mayor and the more we got talking, the more I thought this was a great idea."
A lifelong Democrat, Wolfson repeatedly praises Bloomberg, saying the mayor is "somebody who governs by addition, not by subtraction."
Asked about some of the tough words he has had for the mayor in the past -- including once calling him "an out-of-touch billionaire", Wolfson joked: "That was my evil twin."
Bloomberg was elect mayor in 2001 and re-elected in 2005 as a Republican. In June 2007, he changed his voter registration to "no affiliation."
