A little over a month ago, a new candidate jumped into the crowded race for mayor.

Cuban American immigrant Joseph Hernandez is a biotech entrepreneur who’s founded a number of successful companies, including the biotech investment firm he currently runs, Blue Water Venture Partners.

His campaign platform includes proposals to hire 10,000 new police officers, fast-track affordable housing development and use AI to eliminate government inefficiency.

Hernandez is running as an independent candidate on the November ballot.

He joined NY1’s Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Friday to discuss his bid for mayor and more.
