The 2022 New York gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of New York. Kathy Hochul ascended to the governorship in August 2021, upon Andrew Cuomo's resignation following allegations of sexual harassment. She sought a full term as governor. She appointed Brian Benjamin to the position of lieutenant governor and planned to run alongside him until he too resigned in April 2022. Congressman Antonio Delgado was appointed to replace Benjamin as lieutenant governor. Hochul defeated Jumaane Williams and Tom Suozzi in the Democratic primary for governor, while Delgado 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, and she won unopposed in the primary. Esposito was the first openly gay major party nominee for statewide office in New York.[1]
Hochul won a full term in office, defeating Zeldin in the closest New York gubernatorial election since 1994 and the closest Democratic victory since 1982. Hochul's election marked the first time that a woman was elected to the state's governorship.[2] Hochul's margin of victory of 6.4 percentage points was significantly worse than Cuomo's margin of 23.4 percentage points that he achieved in 2018. While Hochul was able to flip Schenectady and Columbia counties in Upstate New York, Zeldin made gains in the New York metropolitan area, flipping Rockland, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau, and Suffolk counties. 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 the state outside of the Five Boroughs 54.1% to 45.9% and carried the 52 counties of Upstate (the counties outside of the New York metropolitan area–the Five Boroughs, Long Island, and Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester counties) 54.6% to 45.4%.
This was the first New York gubernatorial election in over 80 years not featuring any third-party candidates after the New York State Board of Elections rejected the petitions of all the minor parties that put forward candidates.[3] Hochul became the first elected New York governor from outside New York City and its immediate suburbs since 1932 when Franklin D. Roosevelt left office. Hochul also became the first elected governor from north of Hyde Park since Nathan L. Miller in 1922, in addition to being the first from Western New York since Horace White in 1910 and the first from Buffalo since Grover Cleveland in 1885.[4]
Zeldin received the highest percentage of the vote for a Republican gubernatorial nominee since 2002 and the highest raw vote total for a Republican gubernatorial nominee since 1970.

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.[5] Hochul was sworn in as governor of New York on August 24, 2021.[6] 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.[7]
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.[8] James announced her gubernatorial campaign in October 2021 and was considered a formidable challenger to Hochul.[8]
On November 12, 2021, Newsday reported that Hochul had raised $10 million in campaign donations since taking office as governor.[9] 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.[10] 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'".[11] Suozzi was considered to have the potential to siphon votes away from Hochul.[12]
In early December, James withdrew her candidacy and chose to seek re-election as attorney general instead.[13] 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.[12] 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.[12]
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; however, both candidates were "expected to work the alternate method of gathering the 15,000 signatures to get on the ballot for the June primary".[14][15]
Although the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor are nominated separately, those running for governor may choose to endorse a candidate for lieutenant governor as their unofficial running mate. All three candidates did so (Hochul had initially chosen Brian Benjamin, but switched to Antonio Delgado after Benjamin's arrest).
Hochul won the primary with 67.64% of the vote, a margin of 48% over Jumaane Williams, who came in second.

Lieutenant governor
On April 12, 2022, incumbent lieutenant governor Brian Benjamin resigned from office after being arrested for campaign finance violations. Despite this, he did not officially withdraw from the race, so under the laws of the time, he could only be removed if he moved out of New York, ran for a different office, or died.[106] On May 3, 2022, Hochul announced her intent to appoint Representative Antonio Delgado to the position of lieutenant governor after a bill passed the New York State Assembly allowing Benjamin to be removed from the ticket.[48][107] Delgado won the primary by a large margin.

In June 2020, Lewis County sheriff Mike Carpinelli became the first Republican to enter the race.[122] 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.[123][124] Trump administration official Andrew Giuliani and 2014 New York gubernatorial nominee Rob Astorino made campaign announcements the following month.[125][126][127] Contractor and podcast host Derrick Gibson was also in the race.[128]
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.[129] As of February 2022, Zeldin had the endorsement of 59 of New York's 62 county Republican committees.[130]
In February 2022, shortly before the Republican convention, businessman Harry Wilson announced his candidacy for governor of New York.[131] Wilson stated that he intended to invest $12 million of his own money in the race.[132]
At the Republican convention in Nassau County, Zeldin received 85 percent support from the party's voting committee members, with Astorino and Wilson receiving 7 percent of the vote each, and Giuliani receiving less than one percent of the vote.[133]
On June 28, 2022, the primary election was held. Astorino's strongest performance was in his native Westchester County, Giuliani performed well across New York City (although Manhattan was won by Zeldin), and Wilson performed best in his native Fulton County. It was Zeldin who won the Republican nomination, receiving the most votes in 48 of New York's 62 counties, including earning 76% of the vote in his native Suffolk County.[134]

New York has been a solidly Democratic state, and has not elected a Republican to statewide office since George Pataki's win in 2002. Despite this, polls showed the race narrowing, with the main focus of the election being crime.[324] Zeldin accused Hochul of being weak on crime and education issues, promising to declare a statewide crime emergency and to repeal cashless bail,[325] while Hochul attacked him for his ties to former president Donald Trump and the anti-abortion movement.[326]
By October, analysts viewed the race as tightening, although Hochul was still favored. The Associated Press stated that Zeldin's focus on crime was persuasive, leading to a closer race.[324] 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.[327] She also reached out to the Working Families Party and campaigned with Democrats such as Hillary Clinton.[328]
Ultimately, Hochul defeated Zeldin by a margin of 6.4%, making her the first woman to be elected governor of New York. Despite his loss, Zeldin's performance was the best a Republican had done since George Pataki's victory in 2002, the closest gubernatorial race since 1994, and the most votes a Republican had received for the position in 52 years, since Nelson Rockefeller in 1970. Additionally, Zeldin's coattails significantly narrowed other statewide races, with Democratic senator Chuck Schumer, who last won by over 43 points in 2016, only winning by just over 14 points in 2022. Republicans also flipped 4 congressional seats in the state, contributing to them winning the House of Representatives. Due to his overperformance, Zeldin was considered to be a challenger to Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee; however, he later declined though he stated that he would remain in politics.[329][330]
Fox News Voter Analysis showed in their exit polls 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%).
