On Saturday afternoon, Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins will speak in Townsend Park in Albany. Hawkins is running a national race this year, but he’s no stranger to New York state politics — running for governor in the last three elections. Hawkins says the goal of this year’s campaign is to raise the progressive party’s profile and earn future ballot slots. But does Hawkins’ presence in the race hamper efforts to unseat President Trump? Hawkins discussed that and more with WAMC’s Ian Pickus.
