Kathy Hochul, who as lieutenant governor assumed office in Albany last August when Andrew Cuomo was forced to resign amid scandal, is one step closer to being the first woman ever elected as chief executive of the Empire State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Buffalo native defeated moderate Long Island Congressional Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Brooklyn progressive Jumaane Williams in New York\u2019s June 28 Democratic primary to earn the party\u2019s gubernatorial berth in fall\u2019s general election,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hochul will face the winner of the Republican primary in November.

There were 2.65 million registered as Republicans, less than half those registered as Democrats, with more than 3 million unaffiliated voters not registered with any party. Only voters registered with a party can participate in the state\u2019s closed primaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">New Yorkers haven\u2019t elected a Republican to statewide office since George Pataki\u2019s second re-election in 2002 and have never elected a woman to serve as governor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Before being selected by Cuomo as his 2014 running mate, Hochul served between 2011 and 2013 as New York\u2019s 26th congressional district representative, the first<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Gov.
