New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams is officially exploring a run for governor, but he will not have to look far to see how his path to victory begins in his home borough of Brooklyn. The borough has more people than any other county in the state, and itâs where nearly 1 in 5 registered Democrats live in New York.
His more than 70,000-vote victory in Brooklyn in the 2018 Democratic primary for lieutenant governor is largely what made him competitive against Kathy Hochul â" despite losing 58 out of 62 counties to her.
A repeat performance in Brooklyn in next yearâs gubernatorial primary would be essential if he is to have any chance of winning. âBrooklyn will be the most important county bottom line,â Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who represents parts of Central Brooklyn in the Assembly, said in a text message.
