NY-GOV: Blakeman (R) eyes run for governor as Stefanik announces candidacy

After winning a second term as Nassau County Executive, Bruce Blakeman is eyeing a statewide seat.

Blakeman announced earlier this week he’s considering challenging Gov. Kathy Hochul, who’s seeking reelection, in next year’s governor’s race.

“I will be meeting with a group of leaders across the state in the next couple of weeks about whether I should run for governor,” Blakeman told reporters. “I know I will win if I make the decision to run.”

Hochul has not responded to a request for comment on Blakeman’s interest in the race.
