"Our campaigns have made a difference," Hawkins said. “We put issues on the table that otherwise wouldn’t be discussed."
Hawkins is seeking to push an agenda more so than win office in November.
In his previous bids for governor, Hawkins rallied against the natural gas industry, which he believes led to the state's fracking ban in 2014.
Hawkins is hoping his campaign will have a similar impact in this year.

WBNG TV Binghamton: October 24, 2018
BINGHAMTON (WBNG) — Green Party nominee, Howie Hawkins, made a stop in Binghamton today to speak about criminal justice reform.
During his stop he spoke about Tuesday night’s debate between Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Marc Molinaro.
“They excluded those of us who are trying to bring real issues to the forefront and instead they had a debate where again, they did not talk about upstate issues. How are we going to redevelop the economy upstate?” said Hawkins.
Hawkins’ and other third party candidates are hoping for another debate, including everyone, ahead of the November 6th election.
At this time, there are no other gubernatorial debates scheduled.

So what is Cuomo saying about debates? "Debates Are Fowl!” "Read My Beak! No Debates.” "Cluck You! No Debates." "Debates? Kiss My Eggs."
