Grant Reeher

Attorney General Letitia James recently announced that she will be running for re-election rather than for governor, shifting the ground in New York for those seeking the state’s highest office. According to Professor Grant Reeher, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi is likely more of a threat to incumbent Kathy Hochul than New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. “First of all, we have to realize that this is not going to be the same election that she ran against Williams in 2018,” Reeher says of the lieutenant governor’s race in which Williams garnered 46.7% to Hochul’s 53.3% of the Democratic primary vote. “She [Hochul] is now the governor.” Read more in the Spectrum News article, "Maxwell School’s Grant Reeher on the governor’s race without Tish James."
