“I have known David for many years. He is a common-sense politician, with the ability to make insightful observations about national and local politics,” stated John Catsimatidis, Owner of Red Apple Media and 77WABC Radio. “David represents the Democratic perspective with a level-head and a focus on finding the common ground that unites us and moves us forward. Our listeners already know David. His entrée to a regularly scheduled co-host of Left vs. Right will be a welcome addition to our listeners.”

Patterson is a regular guest on 77WABC Radio, including on The Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis, Cats & Cosby with Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby, and Sid in The Morning with Sid Rosenberg. Patterson began his radio career as a substitute host for John Gambling on WOR, eventually becoming host of the WOR afternoon drive show.

Patterson is the first legally blind person to serve as governor of a U.S. state, and the first African American governor of New York. He also served as a New York State Senator, rising to the position of Senate Minority Leader. He was also Chair of the New York Democratic Party.
