Template:Future election in the United States
The New York gubernatorial election of 2010 will be noted, primarily, by the reelection campaign of incumbent Eliot Spitzer.
Candidates for governor
Democratic Party
Current Governor Eliot Spitzer has a strong prospect of being renominated by the Democratic Party to run for reelection unless the political climate changes dramatically.
Republican Party
With no statewide officials, the Republican party of New York currently controls the Senate, leaving Majority Leader Joseph Bruno as the only statewide personality of note. Other possible candidates include -
- Randy Daniels - Former New York Secretary of State and 2006 Gubernatorial candidate
- John Faso - Former Assembly Minority Leader, 2002 Comptroller and 2006 Gubernatorial nominee
- Christopher Jacobs - former Secretary of State of New York and 2006 Lieutenant Governor candidate
- Raymond Meier - former State Senator and 2006 Congressional nominee
- Jeanine Pirro - Former Westchester County District Attorney and 2006 State Attorney General nominee
- C. Scott Vanderhoef - County Executive of Rockland County, New York and 2006 Lieutenant Governor nominee
- William Weld - former Governor of Massachusetts and 2006 Gubernatorial candidate
- Michael Bloomberg, who may run as an independent, (see below)
- Howie Hawkins - activist, co-founder of the anti-nuclear Clamshell Alliance, co-founder of the Green Party, 2006 US Senate nominee, and 1998 and 2002 State comptroller nominee.
- Malachy McCourt - author, actor, talk radio host, raconteur, and 2006 Green Party gubernatorial nominee
- Jason West - Former Mayor of New Paltz, NY who performed the first same-sex marriages in New York.
Independent
- Michael Bloomberg - Current Mayor of New York City who will be term-limited in 2009. Bloomberg is also rumored to be considering a run for President of the United States in 2008. As Bloomberg was the Republican nominee for Mayor in his elections, the Republicans may try and recruit him to run for Governor under their party's banner, although he is presently a registered independent voter. A New York Post story in November 2007 detailed an alleged meeting between Bloomberg and former GOP state chairman William Powers for that purpose
