Meet the Candidates: Democrats for Lieutenant Governor
In New York, candidates for Lieutenant Governor are termed "running mates" for the would-be governors, but have a separate line on the ballot in the primary. Andrew Cuomo's pick, former Congresswoman Kathy Hochul,  talks about her campaign. Then, challenger with Zephyr Teachout, law professor Tim Wu, talks about his New York Times endorsement and his campaign.

.@superwuster says he has more in common w/ @BilldeBlasio than @KathyHochul. Says she has a "shocking" record for a progressive.

If Wu wins as Lt. Gov., he could serve in the Cuomo administration. He says there would be "creative tension" between him and the Gov.
