Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin clinched the Republican nomination for governor Tuesday, handily winning the party primary against former White House staffer Andrew Giuliani, businessman Harry Wilson and ex-Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino.

“Are we ready to fire Kathy ­Hochul?” he asked a crowd of supporters as he gave a victory speech just before 11 p.m.

“For us, we believe that public service is about serving the public,” he added. “Kathy Hochul has been acting as if the public has been there to serve her.”

Zeldin held a roughly 43% to 23% lead over Giuliani with more than 60% of the votes counted. Astorino was in third at 19% and Wilson at 15%.

The four-term House member from eastern Long Island entered the race in April 2021, before any of his rivals, helping him obtain big fundraising and endorsement advantages.

Report: Rep. Lee Zeldin Attacked by Knife-Wielding Man at Campaign Stop

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 21 Jul 2022
Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican nominee for governor in New York, was reportedly attacked at a campaign stop in Fairport, New York, by a man who held a knife on Thursday evening.

According to local news outlets:

They say Zeldin was giving a speech at the VFW on Macedon Center Road when a man got on stage, started yelling, “wrestled with him a bit, and pulled a blade out.” The alleged attacker was suppressed by AMVETS national Director Joe Chenelly.

“After speaking on bail reform, someone just tried stabbing New York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin in Fairport NY,” one rally attendee tweeted.

The same attendee said that Zeldin retook the stage and finished his speech “once everything calmed down.”
