Chris McKenna is reporting at The Fray Michael Sussman, the Orange County civil rights attorney running for attorney general on the Green Party line, suggested last week a series of debates be held amongst the candidates in that race so voters “know of our records, our accomplishments, our flaws.” Sussman touted his background, as “the only litigator in the race” and his four decades of legal experience, including successful court fights against segregation in Yonkers schools and the attempted privatization of Orange County’s public nursing him. He said he is limiting campaign contributions to no more than $180 per donor and has no ties to either major party or the “pay-to-play culture that permeates this state.” New York City Public Advocate Letitia James won a four-way primary September 13, to become the Democratic nominee for attorney general. The Republican candidate is Keith Wofford, a partner in a Manhattan law firm. Three additional candidates are running on third-party lines: Kenneth Schaeffer, Working Families Party; Vincent Messina Jr., Independence Party; and Nancy Sliwa, Reform Party.
