Meet the Candidates: NYC Public Advocate

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 26, 2013

Our series of interviews with candidates running in the upcoming election continues with back to back conversations with each of the candidates running for the Democratic nomination for Public Advocate. Daniel Squadron, NYS Senator (D-26, representing the Brooklyn waterfront from Greenpoint to Carroll Gardens and Lower Manhattan), Reshma Saujani, former Deputy Public Advocate, Cathy Guerriero, Staten Islander who teaches at Columbia Teachers College and NYU Steinhardt School of Education and is former director of strategic planning for the Archdiocese of New York, and Letitia James, Brooklyn City Council Member, make their case.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
