Primarily New York: Jumaane Williams Runs for Lieutenant Governor

Jumaane Williams, candidate for lieutenant governor of New York and NYC council member for the 45th District, talks about his campaign for New York State lieutenant governor -- the policies and issues he hits on include:  legalizing marijuana, marriage equality & abortion, rezonings, fracking, free college tuition and more. 

"I've always considered myself "one of the 'crazy lefty folks.'" The @nytimes has called me an agitator -- I have no problem with that, says @JumaaneWilliams. pic.twitter.com/2c1PFgAtEO

On the Excelsior program, @jumaanewilliams says we do not have free tuition, we have a program that 97% of students across the state cannot get. Cites confusion over who can apply.

@JumaaneWilliams on what he'll do as LG: "I believe this position doesn't have to be adversarial, but it should be available and ready to speak for the people when no one is doing that."
