In 1974 he ran as the [[Free Libertarian Party of New York]] candidate for governor.  Mr. Tuccille, when he ran for Governor, enrolled "advance" workers from the LP's Manhattan campaign headquarters, and those workers accompanied him to a few community centers, where he was usually the only gubernatorial candidate to address the assembled citizens.  He was the first third-party candidate in NY history to run television ads.  He received the endorsement of [[George F Will]] and also got an article in Newsweek.
