New York State’s general election is rapidly approaching with Election Day on Nov. 8. There’s a wide range ofon the ballot this year with Democratic incumbents, like Gov. Kathy Hochul and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, pulling out all the stops to get re-elected.
The gubernatorial race sees Gov. Kathy C. Hochul and Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado running for reelection and their first full term after the scandals of their predecessors put both of them in office. Other major races include State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli who is running for his fourth full term, State Attorney General Letitia A. James for her second full term, and Schumer for his fifth six-year term.
For congress, candidates such as U.S. Reps Daniel Goldman in District 10, Adriano Espaillat in District 13, and Jerry Nadler in District 12 are running in Manhattan. Nadler and Goldman were in exceptionally heated primaries since their seats were part of the redistricted seats. And in the assembly, State Assemblymembers Eddie Gibbs, Inez E. Dickens, Alfred Taylor, and Manny De Los Santos are hoping to hold onto their seats in Harlem and the Bronx. Dickens has recently considered going back to the city council in the next elections for District 9 in Harlem because of tensions with current Councilmember Kristin Richardson Jordan.
