Final Public Advocate Debate Recap
Political anchor of Spectrum NY1 News, host of Inside City Hall, Daily News columnist and host of the new podcast "You Decide," Errol Louis, recaps the final debate in the special election for NYC public advocate.
Why has @NYDailyNews endorsed Eric Ulrich for New York Public Advocate?
"Their logic is that, if you want to have a real contest in November, there should be a qualified Republican running against a qualified Democrat, and that rarely happens in New York," says @errollouis.
"It was interesting to hear them, in some cases, back off from what had been extreme anti-development rhetoric," says @errollouis on what the candidates had to say about Amazon at last night's public advocate debate.
