NY GOV-2018 Thread

[Suburbia]

Gov. Cuomo will likely win reelection to a third term in 2018, but he could face:

1) Competition from the NY GOP and his own party in the NY Democratic Party by Zephyr Teachout, again.
2) Turnout in NYC and the suburbs could be low, creating apathy because most of these areas have commuters, and Cuomo is in charge of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and he may take the blame.

Without Hanna, Gibson, or Burgess this is sadly likely to be a snoozefest.

If New York Rep. Pete King became bored from being in a dysfunctional and incompetent Congress, he could run for Governor and make it interesting. However, he may not want to leave a fairly safe seat.

The Dutchess County Executive will likely run.
