Candidates Experience Casey Markus

For the First time this century, a third party has been added to the ballet for the NY gubernatorial election, Howie Hawkins. His biggest threat in becoming the first Green Governor is none other than the governor, Andrew Cuomo. Both of them have been involved in politics for a long time. Howie has been part of many environmental movements since the 60s, and he was the one that got the green party to be an offical NY party at the last election. Cuomo is the incumbent governor, and has made many changes to the laws. He removed stop and frisk, and put in the broken windows laws. He legalized small amount of marijuana as well, but while being a dem, he has some more conservative views on some topics. Because of his previous skills as a governor, and as a DA, Cuomo is the better qualified for the job, and will likely win the re election as people are likely to be re elected over new runners, as well as being more qualified.
