The two candidates that I chose were Howie Hawkins from the Green Party and Rob Astorino from the Republican Party. Both candidates have there pros and cons. Astorino has been involved in politics since he was twenty one years old. Astorino is currently serving a second term as County Executive in Westchester; he was also very successful in gaining crossover votes. Even though Astorino might be a good candidate, I think that Howie Hawkins is the better candidate out of the two. Howie Hawkins has been an experienced organizer in a wide variety of movements for peace, workforce, justice and the environment since 1967. Hawkins is actually the co-founder of the Green Party.Hawkins is active in different organizations like "US Labor Against the War" and "Labor Campaign for the Single Payer Healthcare." Organization is very important to lead the state of NY. Howie Hawkins is very invested in his community and has built strong roots in NY. I believe he is the best candidate and that he has a lot of life experience and wisdom
