New York City Public Advocate
Jumaane D. Williams made
it official Tuesday: He’s running
for governor.
The announcement came
after a seven-week exploratory
phase, during which Williams
visited and spoke with areas
throughout the Empire State
to drum up support, including
Long Island, the Mid-Hudson,
Rochester, and Buffalo.
“In this moment, I believe
we need bold, principled progressive
leadership in Albany
to move our state forward with
justice and equity, no matter
the political winds,” Williams
said. “I’m honored to announce
my candidacy to be the next
Governor of New York, humbled
by this opportunity to empower
the people and renew New York,
and excited to share my vision
of structural change with communities
all across the state I
love.”
Having been re-elected public
advocate earlier this month,
Williams has built a reputation
as one of New York City’s
most progressive elected officials.
Now, the candidate says
he wants to take that leadership
statewide.
“There is a movement building
in New York. A courageous
progressive movement that
challenges the powerful – and
helps restore that power to the
people. A movement I’m proud
to be a part of. Because without
courageous progressive leadership,
the way things have always
been will stand in the way of
what they can be,” he added.
In a video released with his
announcement, Williams spoke
about his time growing up in
Brooklyn with Tourette Syndrome
and ADHD, his time as
an organizer, and how he has
incorporated that work into a
decade of service as an elected
official.
Williams, 45, and a graduate
of Brooklyn Tech High School
and Brooklyn College, started
his elected political career as
a City Councilman from 2010-
2019.
Since becoming Public
Advocate in 2019, Williams said
he has passed more legislation
than any of his predecessors
throughout their tenure, ranging
from protecting affordable
housing and promoting racial
equity in development to codifying
the right to record police
activity.
In 2018, while still in the
City Council, he mounted a
progressive insurgent primary
campaign for lieutenant governor
against now Governor
Kathy Hochul, and nearly beat
her with 47% of the vote – most
of it within New York City.
In announcing his run, Williams
immediately claimed the
mantle of the progressive left
in an increasingly crowded
Democratic Primary field that
includes Hochul and Attorney
General Letitia James.
Outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio
and U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi
(D-Long Island/Queens) are
also believed to be eyeing a run
for governor.
A spokesperson for James’
campaign welcomed Williams
in the race.
“Throughout his career, Public
Advocate Jumaane Williams
has been an important leader
on issues from police reform to
housing and we welcome him
to the race. Attorney General
James is running a changemaking
campaign for governor
and as we’ve seen in just a short
time there has been a groundswell
of support from New
Yorkers, labor unions, elected
officials and others around her
historic candidacy for governor,”
said the spokesperson
The primary is slated for
June 28, 2022. The winner
advances to the general election
on Nov. 8.
