The fight for a control of the State Senate will be intense this year, and Democrats are hoping to pick up seats. Republicans, who are currently in the majority, say they intend to remain in control of the chamber. Karen DeWitt sat down with the Senator leading the Democrats’ campaign efforts, Senator Michael Gianaris. The Democrat from Queens also discusses why he’s decided not to run for Attorney General.

Karen DeWitt is Capitol Bureau Chief for New York State Public Radio, a network of 10 public radio stations in New York State. WBFO listeners are accustomed to hearing DeWitt’s insightful coverage throughout the day, including expanded reports on Morning Edition.
