New York state election, 1932


The 1932 New York state election was held on November 8, 1932, to elect the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Comptroller, the Attorney General, the Chief Judge, a U.S. Senator and two U.S. Representatives-at-large, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.

By a re-apportionment in 1932, the state of New York received two more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, but instead of redistricting the congressional districts, the additional congressmen were elected at-large on the state ticket until the election of 1944.

The Socialist Labor state convention met on April 29, a day before the party's national convention, in New York City, and nominated Aaron M. Orange for Governor; and Emil F. Teichert for Lieutenant Governor.

The Communist state convention met on June 19 at Schenectady, New York, and nominated Israel Amter for Governor; and Henry Shepard, a "Harlem Negro", for Lieutenant Governor

The Socialist state convention met on July 3 at Utica, New York, and nominated Louis Waldman for the third time to run for Governor; and Frank R. Crosswaith for Lieutenant Governor. Crosswaith however declined, instead running for Congress in Harlem, and Charles W. Noonan was substituted on the ticket.
