The2014 New York gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014. IncumbentDemocratic governorAndrew Cuomo sought re-election to a second term in office, though incumbent lieutenant governorRobert Duffy did not seek re-election. Cuomo and his running mate, former U.S. representativeKathy Hochul, won contested primaries, whileRepublicanRob Astorino, theWestchester 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 theConservative Party and the Stop Common Core Party.
DemocratAndrew Cuomo, then serving asAttorney General of New York, was elected governorin 2010. Cuomo defeatedRepublican businessmanCarl Paladino by a nearly 2 to 1 margin, 63% to 33%. Cuomo succeeded retiring Democratic governorDavid 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, andSabato'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.[1]
This is the last gubernatorial election in which the counties ofClinton,Franklin,Essex, andBroome voted Democratic, and the last in which Monroe and Ulster voted Republican.
Progressive minor parties saw an opportunity to make headway in the state due to Cuomo's relatively conservative stances on taxes and spending.[2][3] A poll commissioned by businessman and progressive political activistBill Samuels in March 2014 indicated that even an unknown left-wing third-party challenger on theWorking Families Party line could garner between 6% and 13% of the vote without threatening Cuomo's chances of winning re-election.[4] A later poll by the Siena Research Institute taken of 772 registered voters from April 12–17, 2014, with a margin of error of ± 3.5%, found Cuomo taking 39% to Republican candidate Rob Astorino's 24% and an unnamed Working Families Party candidate also at 24%.[5] A Quinnipiac poll conducted in May 2014 produced a similar result to Siena's, with Cuomo at 37%, Astorino at 24% and the third-party candidate at 22%.[6] The Working Families Party nonetheless cross-endorsed Cuomo in a bitterly contested convention vote, leavingHowie Hawkins of theGreen Party as the sole progressive challenger assured of a place on the ballot.[3]
In May 2014, after widespread speculation,Lieutenant GovernorRobert Duffy confirmed that he would not run for a second term, expressing a desire to return to his home city ofRochester.[7]Byron Brown, theMayor ofBuffalo;Kathy Hochul, a former U.S. representative; Steve Bellone, the currentSuffolk County Executive; Kevin Law, the former deputy Suffolk County executive; and RepublicanJoanie Mahoney, theCounty Executive ofOnondaga County; were considered to be potential replacements.[8][9][10] Within the Cuomo administration, potential names includedMatt Driscoll, the former mayor ofSyracuse;RoAnn Destito, a former Assemblywoman; andCesar A. Perales, theSecretary of State of New York.[11] Hochul was revealed as Cuomo's running mate during the state Democratic convention on May 21, 2014.[12]

No Republican gubernatorial primary was held in 2014.
It was believed that the Republicans would nominate someone who was not up for re-election in 2014 and so did not have to give up their office to run, and who would use the campaign to raise their profile for a more competitive statewide bid in the future.Rob Astorino, theWestchester County Executive and the only Republican to enter the race, was not up for re-election until 2017.[21] Business magnate and television personalityDonald Trump flirted with a run,[22][23] but decided against it, instead running for president as a Republican in 2016 and winning.[24] Other potential candidates who did not run were former U.S. representativeVito Fossella,[25]Dutchess County ExecutiveMarcus Molinaro[26] and businessman and2010 candidate forNew York State ComptrollerHarry Wilson.[26]
AssemblywomenJane Corwin andNicole Malliotakis both declined overtures to be the party's nominee for lieutenant governor,[27] as didRensselaer County Executive Kathleen M. Jimino and formerUnited States Attorney for the Western District of New YorkMichael A. Battle.[28][29] On May 13, Astorino announcedChemung County Sheriff Chris Moss as his running mate.[30]
On May 15, 2014, the Republican Party nominated Astorino for Governor of New York and Moss for Lieutenant Governor of New York.[31]
Besides the Democratic and Republican parties, theConservative,Green,Independence andWorking Families parties arequalified New York parties. These parties have automatic ballot access.
Conservative Party chairmanMichael R. Long endorsed Rob Astorino in February 2014.[14]Buffalo Public Schools Board of Education member and2010 Republican gubernatorial nomineeCarl Paladino originally stated he would seek the Conservative Party nomination if the Republicans nominated Astorino;[42] however, by March 2014, Paladino indicated that he would not run for governor in 2014 and would support Astorino if Donald Trump did not run.[36] On May 31, 2014, the Party nominated Astorino and Moss for governor and lieutenant governor, respectively.[43]
In contrast to the other qualified parties, theGreen Party of New York traditionally endorses its own candidates. The party held its nominating convention on May 17, 2014.[44]
TheIndependence Party of New York, which traditionally cross-endorses the candidate most likely to get them the most votes, was expected to nominate incumbent governor Andrew Cuomo as it did in 2010. Republican Rob Astorino refused the line, and several members of the Democratic Party called on Cuomo to do the same.[46]
Despite the controversy, Cuomo accepted the nomination on May 22, 2014.[47]
TheWorking Families Party traditionally cross-endorses Democrats, but many of its members (most of which arelabor unions) have expressed reservations over endorsing incumbent governor Andrew Cuomo as they did in 2010.[48][49]
The WFP convention, held on May 31, chose Cuomo over professorZephyr Teachout by a 59%–41% margin in a contentious floor vote. Cuomo's supporters negotiated an agreement in which the governor would support the party agenda in exchange for their vote, expressly attempting to keep the party line solely as a second line for the Democrats; this agreement was met with widespread and vocal skepticism from Teachout's supporters, who insisted the WFP hold to its principles and that Cuomo could not be trusted to hold up to his end of the bargain.[50]
Any candidate not among the six qualified New York parties (Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Green, Independence and Working Families) must petition their way onto the ballot; they do not face primary elections. Independent nominating petitions began collecting signatures on July 8 and were due to the state by August 19.[57]
TheLibertarian Party of New York held its nominating convention on April 26, 2014. The nominating process required five rounds of voting, after which Michael McDermott was nominated.[58]
The party initially filed with Kendy Guzman as the running mate. As of August 26, Guzman had turned down the nomination and was replaced with Kalotee, the former chairman of the forcibly-dissolved Nassau County wing of the Independence Party.[61][62]
Cohn is the only candidate on the ballot who did not participate in the lone gubernatorial debate.[63]
The "StopCommon Core Party" (renamed after the election to theReform Party) is asingle-issue ballot line conceived by Republican nomineeRob Astorino.[64][65][66]
TheWomen's Equality Party is a political party created by Gov.Andrew Cuomo and his allies. The Party was designed to take advantage of New York'selectoral fusion laws, which allow candidates to appear on multiple parties' lines in the same election. The Party is named after the Women's Equality Act, a bill that failed in the New York State Senate in 2013 and 2014 due to a stalemate over an abortion rights provision in the bill.[68][69]
The formation of the Party was particularly controversial among feminists (particularlyZephyr Teachout, Cuomo's primary opponent)[70] and was noted for its use of questionable campaign imagery, particularly a tour bus that bore a striking resemblance to a box ofTampaxtampons.[71] Additionally, the Working Families Party asserted that the formation of the Women's Equality Party was an attempt to undermine the WFP as a viable party in New York politics.[72]
In July 2014, Astorino called for New Jersey governorChris Christie to resign his position as chair of theRepublican Governors Association due to his refusal to support Astorino's campaign, which Christie publicly characterized as a "lost cause."[81] Astorino claimed that Christie refused to support him due to Christie's relationship with Cuomo.[82]

Cuomo handily defeated Astorino by a 54.19%-40.25% margin,[1] although this margin was smaller than Cuomo's victory margin in 2010.[113] Cuomo won all five counties ofNew York City, along withWestchester,Rockland, andNassau counties;[1][113] Hawkins's presence on the ballot had aspoiler effect that allowed Astorino to win some Hudson Valley counties that traditionally vote Democratic and carry the Upstate region as a whole.[114] Cuomo carried New York City 75.6% to 17.3% (730,088 votes to 168,460 votes), while narrowly losing the Upstate 44.1% to 47.4% (1,213,159 votes to 1,302,182 votes).
The Green Party took Row D on the ballot,[114] surpassing the Independence and Working Families Parties (both of whom lost significant vote share but stillqualified 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.[1] 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.[115]
