The 2022 New York gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022 to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of New York.

Contents

In August 2021, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul ascended to the governorship after Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in the wake of allegations of sexual harassment. A Democrat, Hochul sought a full term as governor in 2022. Hochul defeated Jumaane Williams and Tom Suozzi in the June 28, 2022 Democratic primary for governor. Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado--who had been appointed lieutenant governor by Hochul earlier in 2022 to fill a vacancy--defeated Ana Maria Archila and Diana Reyna in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor.

Lee Zeldin ran as the Republican nominee, having defeated Rob Astorino, Andrew Giuliani, and Harry Wilson in the Republican primary. Zeldin selected Alison Esposito, an NYPD officer, as his running mate. Esposito won unopposed in the primary for lieutenant governor, becoming the first openly gay major party nominee for statewide office in New York. This election was the first New York gubernatorial election in over 80 years not to feature any third-party candidates, although the Working Families Party endorsed Hochul and the Conservative Party endorsed Zeldin.

On Election Day, Hochul won a full term in office. She defeated Zeldin by a margin of 53.1%-46.7% and became the first woman elected to the state's governorship. The election was New York's closest gubernatorial election since 1994.

Democratic primary

In August 2021, after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation, then-Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she would run for governor in 2022. [1] Hochul was sworn in as governor of New York on August 24, 2021. [2] Hochul was elected to the position of lieutenant governor in 2014, and was re-elected in 2018; in both elections, she was Cuomo's running mate. [3]

New York Attorney General Letitia James garnered attention for releasing a report on her office's investigation into alleged sexual harassment by Cuomo; the release of this report helped lead to Cuomo's resignation in August 2021. [4] James announced her gubernatorial campaign in October 2021 and was considered a formidable challenger to Hochul. [4]

On November 12, 2021, Newsday reported that Hochul had raised $10 million in campaign donations since taking office as governor. [5] On November 16, 2021, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, described by CNN as "a progressive favorite from Brooklyn", announced his 2022 gubernatorial bid. Williams had run for lieutenant governor against Hochul in 2018, losing a close race. [6] On November 29, 2021, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi of Long Island announced that he was running for governor. According to The New York Times , Suozzi was known as a "vocal centrist" and announced an intent to bill himself as a "'common-sense Democrat'". [7] Suozzi was considered to have the potential to siphon votes away from Hochul. [8]

In early December, James withdrew her gubernatorial candidacy and chose to seek re-election as attorney general instead. [9] James' withdrawal from the race was seen as a positive development for Hochul, as James had been considered the second-strongest candidate in the race. [8] The exit of James boosted the campaign of Williams, who became the only major candidate from New York City and the clear choice for the left wing of the Democratic Party. [8]

On February 17, 2022, at the New York State Democratic Convention, Hochul was selected as the preferred Democratic candidate for governor of New York in 2022. At the convention, Hochul received 85.6% of the weighted vote, while Williams received 12.5%. Neither Williams nor Suozzi received sufficient support to obtain automatic ballot access and force a primary election; [10] [11] however, both candidates later gathered sufficient signatures to qualify for the Democratic primary ballot. [12]

On June 28, 2022, Hochul won the Democratic gubernatorial primary with 67.6% of the vote, defeating Williams (19.4%) and Suozzi (13.0%). [13]

Republican primary

In June 2020, Lewis County sheriff Mike Carpinelli became the first Republican to enter the race. [119] He was the only announced challenger until Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin announced his own campaign in April 2021. By the end of April, Zeldin had announced that the Republican Party chairs of Erie County and Niagara County had endorsed his campaign, giving him the necessary 50% of state committee support to gain the Republican nomination. [120] [121] Trump administration official Andrew Giuliani and 2014 New York gubernatorial nominee Rob Astorino made campaign announcements the following month. [122] [123] [124] Contractor and podcast host Derrick Gibson also entered the race. [125]

In June 2021, Zeldin was named the presumed nominee of the New York's Republican Party by state chairman Nick Langworthy after he earned 85 percent of a straw poll vote of county leaders, and was also called the presumptive nominee of the Conservative Party by Conservative state chairman Gerard Kassar. [126] As of February 2022, Zeldin had received the endorsements of 59 of New York's 62 county Republican committees. [127]

In February 2022, shortly before the Republican convention, businessman Harry Wilson announced his candidacy for governor of New York. [128] Wilson stated that he intended to invest $12 million of his own money in the race. [129]

At the Republican convention in Nassau County, Zeldin received 85 percent support from the party's voting committee members, with Astorino and Wilson each receiving 7 percent of the vote and Giuliani receiving less than one percent. [130]

On June 28, 2022, the primary election was held. Zeldin prevailed, receiving the most votes in 48 of New York's 62 counties and earning 76% of the vote in his native Suffolk County. [131] Zeldin received 43.6% of the vote, defeating Giuliani (22.9%), Astorino (18.7%), and Wilson (14.8%). [13]

Analysis

In 2022, New York was a solidly Democratic state where Republicans had not won a statewide election since the 2002 election for governor of New York. The main focus of the election was crime. [320] Zeldin accused Hochul of being weak on crime, promising to declare a statewide crime emergency and to repeal cashless bail, [321] while Hochul attacked him for his ties to former president Donald Trump and to the anti-abortion movement. [322]

In October, the Associated Press stated that Zeldin's focus on crime was persuasive and was making the race closer; however, Hochul was still favored to prevail. [320] Hochul's campaign ramped up in the final weeks in an effort to prevent an upset loss. She pivoted her messaging to focus more on crime. [323] She also reached out to the Working Families Party and campaigned with Democrats such as Hillary Clinton. [324]

On Election Day, Hochul won a full term in office, defeating Zeldin by a margin of 53.1%-46.7% [316] and becoming the first woman elected to the state's governorship. [325] The election was New York's closest gubernatorial election since 1994. [326] Hochul was criticized for prevailing "by single digits and only after some of the biggest names in the Democratic Party traveled to New York in the election's final days to help her". [327] Former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed Hochul's lack of coattails for Democrats' poor showing in U.S. House races in New York in 2022 and, by extension, for contributing to the Democrats' loss of control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Specifically, Pelosi said that Hochul "'didn't realize soon enough where the trouble was'". [328] Hochul disagreed with this criticism, stating that "'no governor in the history of the state of New York has worked harder to elect members of Congress'" than she had. [329]

Despite his loss, Zeldin's performance helped Republicans to flip four congressional seats in New York, contributing to the GOP's majority in the House of Representatives. Due to his overperformance, Zeldin was considered to be a potential challenger to Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee; [330] however, he later declined to challenge McDaniel. [331]

This election was the first New York gubernatorial election in over 80 years not to feature any third-party candidates, although the Working Families Party endorsed Hochul and the Conservative Party endorsed Zeldin. [198]

Hochul won the city of New York with 69.8% to 30.2%, the latter being the highest vote percentage for a Republican since 2002. Zeldin carried voters outside New York City by a 54.1-45.9% margin and carried Upstate New York by a 54.6%-45.4% margin. Exit polls from Fox News Voter Analysis showed that Zeldin won White voters (54%–46%), while Hochul won African Americans (82%–17%), Latinos (64%–35%) (including Puerto Rican Americans (66%–33%)), and other minorities (58%–41%).
