Office of the Governor
Next year’s race for governor in New York has officially begun. Republican leaders gathered in Albany Monday to hear from potential gubernatorial nominees, who would go on to compete next year against either Gov. Andrew Cuomo or whichever Democrat lands on the ticket in his place.
Steps from the state capitol, eight interested Republicans took on the task of convincing their colleagues they should be the first Republican elected statewide since 2002. Among them were two former challengers to Cuomo, a member of Congress and Rudy Giuliani s son.
The message from the potential nominees was clear: the Republican Party intends to focus the upcoming election on the controversies surrounding Cuomo, the economy and the consistent out-migration from New York during his tenure in office.

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik answers questions from constituents during her âCoffee with a Congresswomanâ event at Johnstown Senior Center in Johnstown on Oct. 10, 2019.
(Provided photo â Erica Miller, Daily Gazette) Since last fall, when controversy first began to grow around Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Elise Stefanik has regularly posted on social media calling the three-term incumbent “the WORST governor in America.” Could the Republican congresswoman want the job? It’s quite possible, though any Republican candidate for governor is a long shot to win the state’s top job, given New York state’s Democrat-heavy voter makeup.

Cuomo is looking wounded by several scandals nearly two years ahead of the 2022 gubernatorial election. That has potential Republican challengers starting to emerge, and there’s at least some talk about the 36-year-old four-term incumbent from Saratoga County, who represents the North Country’s 21st Congressional District.
