The Working Families Party (WFP) threw its support Wednesday to progressive Public Advocate Jumaane Williams in his bid to become New York’s next governor.
Williams is challenging Governor Kathy Hochul in this June’s Democratic primary, and having the support of the third-party Working Families may help win some more progressive Democratic voters to his side this spring.
Williams also earned progressive support from two colleagues in city government and fellow Brooklynites — City Comptroller Brad Lander and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso — and New York Communities for Change, Make the Road Action, and Citizen Action of New York.
