Dem fund-raiser ‘leaning toward’ anti-Cuomo L.G. run
Jimmy Vielkind
ALBANY—Democratic activist and fund-raiser Bill Samuels says he'll decide by next week on a possible run for lieutenant governor, challenging Governor Andrew Cuomo's designee Kathy Hochul and, if successful, preventing Cuomo from combining his vote totals across party lines.
Samuels revealed his discontent with Hochul—the former congresswoman from a Buffalo-area district who in previous elections touted her N.R.A. membership and strong stances against undocumented immigrants—in Fred Dicker's Monday New York Post column.
In the days since she was revealed to be the replacement for outgoing L.G. Bob Duffy as Cuomo's running mate, she has already begun to evolve.
