The 2022 New York gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022.

Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is seeking election to her current post in 2022. Hochul was elected lieutenant governor in 2014 and 2018 and became governor in August 2021, following the resignation of her predecessor, Governor Andrew Cuomo.[1] U.S. Representative Tom Suozzi and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, both Democrats, have also announced their gubernatorial candidacies. Additional Democrats are considering running for governor as well.

On the Republican side, U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin from Long Island is running for governor, and has received the support of the state's party leadership. Other Republicans, including former special assistant to the President and Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison during the Trump administration Andrew Giuliani and former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, have also launched gubernatorial bids.

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.[2] Hochul was sworn in as governor of New York on August 24, 2021.[3] 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.[4]

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.[5] James announced her gubernatorial campaign in October 2021 and was considered a formidable challenger to Hochul.[5]

On November 12, 2021, Newsday reported that Hochul had raised $10 million in campaign donations since taking office as governor.[6] 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 ran for lieutenant governor against Hochul in 2018, losing a close race.[7] 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 is known as a "vocal centrist" and announced an intent to bill himself as a "'common-sense Democrat'".[8] Suozzi was considered to have the potential to siphon votes away from Hochul.[9]

In early December, James withdrew her candidacy and chose to seek re-election as attorney general instead.[10] 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.[9] The exit of James boosted the campaign of Williams, who became the only candidate from New York City and the clear choice of the left wing of the Democratic Party.[9]

Republican primary[]

In June 2020, Lewis County sheriff Mike Carpinelli became the first Republican to enter the race.[61] He was the only announced challenger until Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin announced his own campaign in April 2021; he announced by the end of the month that the Erie and Niagara Counties' Republican Party chairs had endorsed his campaign, giving him the necessary 50% of state committee support to gain the Republican nomination.[62][63] Former special assistant to the President and Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison during the Trump administration Andrew Giuliani and 2014 New York gubernatorial nominee Rob Astorino made campaign announcements the following month.[64][65][66] Contractor and podcast host Derrick Gibson is also in the race.[67]

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 New York's Conservative Party by Conservative state chairman Gerard Kassar.[68][69] As of October 2021, Zeldin had the endorsement of 56 of New York's 62 county Republican committees.[70]
