My podcast with Andrea

The political career of Andrea Stewart-Cousins began as a volunteer on a city council race in Yonkers, and nearly three decades later she will take on the role of majority leader in the state Senate. This evolution and much more about the Democratic leader was the subject of an in-depth profile by Times Union reporter Rachel Silberstein. This episode of the Capitol Confidential podcast features excerpts of their conversation. The interview touched on her plans for addressing sexual harassment, the role for the Senate Republicans in 2019 and how time as a journalist shaped her relationship with the media today.
