Gov. Cuomo to create new Women's Equality Party ballot line, sources say

KEN LOVETT

Gov. Cuomo is creating a new ballot ballot line focused on women’s issues, sources said Wednesday.

The new Women’s Equality Party will be announced Thursday in the city at an event featuring Cuomo’s Lt. Gov. candidate Kathleen Hochul, former state Democratic Party Chairwoman Judith Hope and an array of women leaders, one source said.

Cuomo will not be at the event.

Cuomo, who polls show leads Republican candidate Rob Astorino by around 35 points, already has the Democratic, Independence Party and Working Families lines.
