Still, to quote New Yorker Rodney Dangerfield, Mark Green gets no respect. His campaign is called "aloof" at best and racially divisive at worst, following his bitter primary contest with Fernando Ferrer, who was backed by a coalition of minority leaders including the Rev. Al Sharpton and Rep. Charles Rangel.

Mark Green (1977) was born and raised in Breda. In his school years he discovered dance music and was immediately interested. As with so many young DJs, he got to know fellow disc jockeys through the music store where he used to buy his records on a weekly basis. Eventually, buying records became a regular meeting, with cups of coffee and endless conversations about hot new tracks, leading to new friendships with such names as Dazzle and Cor Fijneman. It was during these moments that he met with DJ Tiësto and found his inspiration to start spinning vinyl himself.

Americans who live over the horizon from the twin towers may be asking: What is a Mark Green? Green has a modest national profile, thanks to frequent guest hosting of CNN's Crossfire, but he is above all a Gotham institution. Green holds one of the oddest jobs in political America—the nation's only elected pest. New York City's public advocate fields citizen complaints about government agencies—20,000 a year—investigates bureaucratic incompetence, publishes reports on services, and sponsors city council legislation. The job is all bark: The public advocate has almost no authority and no power but public pressure. Green is an institutionalized noodge, a certified pain in the ass. (The idea of electing someone just to make trouble seems particularly New York: "It wouldn't be New York unless there were at least two fights every morning," says Green.)
