We sit down with Lt. Gov. DelgadoforNY to talk about his new position and current campaign.
The Amsterdam News caught up with Delgado in between campaign stops at a futuristic and artisanal coffee shop, Voyager Espresso, that’s located underground near a train station in Lower Manhattan. The shop is run by a local Dominican American couple. The coffee shop’s design was inspired by the 1977 spacecraft, said William Mejia, one of the owners.
AmNews: You released a series of campaign ads recently, $1.5 million for TV called Game Changer and $300,000 ad buy for radio. Do you ever feel like you’re pandering? Delgado: You know, I lived in New York City from 2011 to 2015. I worked, I commuted, and took the subway, so I’m very familiar with how people get around in the city. More recently in talking to folks about gun violence, it’s not just gun violence but quality of life and just feeling safe in their neighborhoods.
AmNews: Do you think former Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin has overshadowed you in your position as the Lt. Gov.? Do you feel like you’re just the ‘Black man who’s a runner-up’ so that Hochul saves herself from political embarrassment?
