NJ Governor's Race: Jim Johnson

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 9, 2017

Jim Johnson, candidate for New Jersey governor in the Democratic primary, former Clinton Treasury department under-secretary and former chair of the Brennan Center for Justice, makes his case to New Jersey primary voters.

On the top of his priorities? Lowering New Jersey's high property tax rate.

"It’s led NJ to become the state of the highest foreclosures, seniors can’t afford to stay in their homes," said Johnson. He also discusses policy proposals to public transportation, his case against single-payer healthcare, and more.
