Is she a Libertarian?
Diana Taylor (born 1955) is the former New York State Superintendent of Banks and the domestic partner of Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
It was rumored that Taylor would be nominated by George W. Bush as the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), but Taylor was never offered the job. Reports said that Taylor had undergone a background check by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and had finished the White House paperwork for the position. The reports also said that Bush aides were informing U.S. Senate leaders about the nomination and that it would be announced in a few days.
As Mayor Bloomberg unveiled a second-term agenda to cut down on gun violence and the flow of illegal guns into the city, more rumors came about suggesting pressure from the National Rifle Association caused President Bush not to nominate Taylor. Following the withdrawal of her nomination, Bloomberg cancelled a scheduled appearance at a White House dinner, which would feature the Dance Theatre of Harlem. He instead attended a community meeting in the Bronx.
Taylor, a divorcee with no children, met Mayor Bloomberg at a Citizens Budget Commission event in 2000, where they were seated together. Since then the couple has been together and she acts as an unofficial first lady for the city, joining the mayor at social functions and campaigning with him. She has been frequently seen marching with him in parades citywide.
During the 2005 New York City transit strike, Taylor stayed with Bloomberg in the city’s Office of Emergency Management headquarters in Brooklyn each night of the strike. During his second inauguration in 2006, Taylor occupied a front row seat with the mayor’s mother and daughters.
Both have denied any intentions of marrying.
