Listen Later

Going into primary night this summer, Gareth Rhodes was coming on the strong in the race for the Democratic nomination in the 19th Congressional District.

He had picked up an endorsement from the New York Times and was rolling out support from major labor unions.

The first-time candidate and veteran of the Cuomo administration joined the podcast to talk about his experience on the campaign trail in the Hudson Valley. The conversation explored the decision to run, what it took to start a campaign, the story behind his infamous RV and the secret of his toupee (it's not a toupee).
