From PressConnects.com of Greater Binghamton:
“I don’t run away from people the way the Democrats and Republicans tend to do,” said Cecile Lawrence, Green Party candidate for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
“We care about people, we care about New York and we care about the country,” she said. “That’s why we’re doing this.”
Lawrence and Howie Hawkins, Green Party gubernatorial candidate, were in the area Monday and spoke with this newspaper about their platforms and history.
Lawrence, 63, a Jamaica-born activist who resides in Apalachin, is active in the movements for health care reform, organic agriculture, renewable energy and a ban on hydrofracturing. Among the issues she discussed: she’s in favor of a single-payer, Medicare-for-all system, and wants healthier food fed to schoolchildren…
Hawkins, 57, of Syracuse, has been an organizer in movements for peace, justice, labor, the environment and independent politics. He acknowledged running on a third-party line can be an uphill battle, but said it’s one the Green Party is ready for.
