On the Democratic side, Houston Mayor Bill White is widely seen as the strongest candidate although former state Comptroller John Sharp, who has two
losing races for lieutenant governor under his belt, is also mentioned.
-LRB-... A day after declining to endorse either Gov. Cuomo or his Democratic challenger, Zephyr Teachout, in the primary, The New York Times has thrown its support to Teachout's running mate, Tim Wu, in
the race for lieutenant governor.
In the primary
race for lieutenant governor, Cuomo's running mate Kathy Hochul goes up against Tim Wu, who has paired with Cuomo challenger Zephyr Teachout.
Bob McCarthy, veteran of the Buffalo News, recently reported, «The result [of Wu's challenge to Hochul] is unexpected concern in the Cuomo camp over — of all things —
the race for lieutenant governor.»
The committee's filing showed how it broke down the expenses: $ 818,231.27 was spent in support of Cuomo's reelection campaign, while the committee spent $ 35,422 on Hochul's
race for lieutenant governor.
His chances are slim to none: He won only 13 percent of the vote in his 2010
race for lieutenant governor.
State Sen. Joe Markley of Southington says he has qualified for public financing in
the race for lieutenant governor.
Moreover,
a race for lieutenant governor as well, between Kathy Hochul and Tim Wu is emerging.
Further down the ballot were
races for lieutenant governor, U.S. House and state Legislature.
CNN also projects that the GOP will win
the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general in Virginia, giving the Republican Party a complete sweep of statewide offices.
