Incumbent Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo sought re-election to a second term in office, though incumbent lieutenant governor Robert Duffy did not seek re-election. 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 Chris Moss) were unopposed for their party's nomination. Astorino and Moss were also cross-nominated by the Conservative Party and the Stop Common Core Party. Democrat Andrew Cuomo, then serving as Attorney General of New York, was elected governor in 2010. Cuomo defeated Republican businessman Carl Paladino by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, 63% to 33%. Cuomo succeeded retiring Democratic governor David Paterson. Entering the 2014 campaign, Cuomo enjoyed high approval ratings and a large campaign war chest that totaled $33 million as of January 2014. The Cook Political Report, Daily Kos Elections, Governing, RealClearPolitics, The Rothenberg Political Report, and Sabato's Crystal Ball all rated the 2014 New York gubernatorial election as "Safe Democratic". On Election Day, Cuomo and Hochul defeated Astorino and Moss by a margin of 14 percentage points.http://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/elections/2014/general/2014Governor.pdf NYS Board of Elections Governor/Lt.

Third party's profile rises. Times Union. Retrieved November 29, 2014. Cuomo carried New York City 77.08% to 17.47% (782,911 votes to 177,450 votes), while narrowly losing the Upstate 45.89% to 48.49% (1,286,569 votes to 1,359,429 votes). The Green Party took Row D on the ballot, surpassing the Independence and Working Families Parties (both of whom lost significant vote share but still qualified for automatic ballot status through 2018) but not surpassing the Conservative Party, which retained Row C with 6 percent of the vote. The Libertarian Party, after a 2010 showing in which it narrowly fell short of the 50,000 votes needed for automatic ballot access, missed that measure by a wide margin in 2014; the Party's candidate earned less than 17,000 votes. The Sapient Party was a non-factor with fewer than 5,000 votes. Two new political parties—the Women's Equality Party and the Stop Common Core Party—surpassed the 50,000-vote threshold and attained automatic ballot status.https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/spin-cycle/leading-gop-ers-eye-setup-for-new-stop-common-core-party-1.9612314 Leading GOP'ers eye setup for new 'Stop Common Core' party Newsday Janison Dan November 12, 2014 September 5, 2018 September 6, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180906052604/https://www.newsday.com/long-island/politics/spin-cycle/leading-gop-ers-eye-setup-for-new-stop-common-core-party-1.9612314 dead References 3 External links New York gubernatorial election, 2014 at Ballotpedia Campaign contributions at FollowTheMoney.org Gubernatorial 2014 New York Category:Andrew Cuomo Category:Howie Hawkins Category:November 2014 in the United States
