What’s at stake for New Yorkers in Tuesday’s primary elections

New Yorkers will head to the polls Tuesday to vote in the primary contests for governor, lieutenant governor and state Assembly.

In the Democratic gubernatorial primary, Gov. Kathy Hochul will attempt to fend off a pair of challengers to earn a full term in office – Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Nassau).

On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Lee Zeldin (D-Suffolk), former White House staffer Andrew Giuliani, businessman Harry Wilson, and former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino will compete in what has shaped up to be a “free-for-all” contest for the GOP nomination.

Republicans are hoping to win their first statewide election in two decades, in a year when historical trends and low poll numbers for President Biden might diminish Democrats’ down-ballot prospects.
