New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo won his bid for re-election yesterday, defeating four opponents including Republican Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino. Speaking with WRVO, Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins says even though he lost the gubernatorial election, he’s committed to working on issues facing voters. Hawkins criticized Cuomo’s handling of education across the state.
Hawkins was one of three independent candidates in the election, with Libertarian Mike McDermott and Sapient Steve Cohn.
