Founded in New York in 1998, the Working Families Party has played an active role in New York politics, sometimes promoting candidates on their own ballot line and sometimes cross-endorsing Democrats.

Sochie Nnaemeka has been running the New York chapter of party since 2019, but has recently decided to step down in order to have more time to spend with her family. She joined Errol Louis for an exit interview where she discussed her many accomplishments while leading the party, as well as the future of the progressive agenda in New York. She also touched on the polarization of politics, and why she feels the response to Jordan Neely’s killing was a tremendous failure of leadership.
