Julia Salazar on State Senate run, Ted Hamm on Tish James support of racist former Brooklyn DA
Bonus chat with Julia on her political evolution https://www.patreon.com/posts/21319406 I talk to Julia Salazar, a DSA candidate running against Martin Dilan, the state senator in New York's 18th District. Salazar has been compared to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortéz for being a young, Latina, DSA member and first time candidate taking on the Democratic Machine. Julia talks to me about the difference between her and Dilan and addresses his bad record on housing and tenants rights, which the media almost entirely ignored until a Gothamist piece published this week which exposed that Dilan takes more money from the real estate industry than all but one Democratic state senator. And I talk to Ted Hamm about Letitia James, who is running for Attorney General of NY against friend-of-the-show and anti corruption crusader Zephyr Teachout. Hamm talks about James' troubling support of former Brooklyn DA Charles J. Hynes
