Green Party’s Hawkins Begins Bid for NY Governor
Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins is kicking off his campaign for New York governor, vowing to build on his third-place finish four years ago.
Hawkins says that if elected he would support raising the minimum wage, more investments in renewable energy and public transportation, a ban on hydraulic fracturing and higher taxes on wealthy earners.
Hawkins says that while he’s realistic about his chances as a third-party candidate, he believes many voters want an alternative to major party candidates. Hawkins won nearly 60,000 votes to finish third in the 2010 race behind Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Carl Paladino.
