Spitzer: My Wife Won't Be Campaigning With Me

The former governor said he was running for comptroller, not a member of his family

Eliot Spitzer says his wife 'has a career" and will not be accompanying him on the campaign trail for New York City comptroller.

Spitzer told the New York Post that people will judge him, "not who else is with me or not with me."

He made the remark at a campaign stop in the Bronx on Thursday. He was asked whether his wife, Silda, would appear at his side during the campaign.

The ex-governor added that he was the one running for office, "no other member of my family is running for office."

Silda Spitzer accompanied her husband at his notorious resignation speech, when he stepped down as governor after multiple reports serviced about his patronage of high-end escorts while in office.
