On Tuesday (November 16), before announcing his candidacy for governor of New York, Williams, a public defender in New York City, revealed to The Associated Press his plans to run for governor of New York.

"I usually push those who have the ability to get the job done, and yet in a way you have to stop expecting other people, and I'm going to say that I'm going to do my best to serve New York State," Williams said. For me, it's time to run for governor. ”

Currently, Williams faces challenges from New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

Williams, 45, noted that what he wants to give Democratic primary voters — neither Hochu nor Jensia do — is challenging former New York Governor Gumus's record, even if it's politically inconvenient. Before Gormy is accused of sexual harassment, Hochu should have made public what she called the toxic culture that albany was pervasive.

It is reported that in 2018, Williams and Hochu both ran for lieutenant governor of New York, and Williams lost to Hochu. During the campaign at the time, Williams said he would use the position of lieutenant governor in charge of ceremonial work to challenge Gordon, rather than just acting as a rubber stamp.

Hochu or Jennezia has the potential to become the first female governor of New York, but if Williams wins, he will become the second African-American governor of New York.

On Tuesday (November 16), Williams posted a campaign video online to officially begin his campaign for the governor of New York.
