The 2014 New York gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo won re-election to a second term in office, though incumbent Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy did not seek re-election. In New York, gubernatorial candidates frequently designate candidates for Lieutenant Governor as their running mates, but separate primaries are held, with the winners running together on the same ticket in the general election. Primary elections were held on September 9, 2014. Cuomo and his running mate former U.S. Representative Kathy Hochul won contested primaries, while Republican Rob Astorino, the Westchester County Executive, and his running mate Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss were unopposed for their party's nomination. Also running were labor activist Howie Hawkins and teacher Brian Jones for the Green Party, Michael McDermott and Chris Edes for the Libertarian Party, and Steven Cohn and Bobby Kalotee for the Sapient Party.
