Incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo decided to seek re-election in 2014 to a second term in office. Governor Cuomo defeated Zephyr Teachout in a primary election, 63 % to 33 %, and went on to defeat the Republican nominee, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, 54 % to 40 %, in the general election. New York gubernatorial elections operate on a split primary system : governor and lieutenant governor candidates in each party run in separate primary elections. In the general election, candidates are chosen as unified governor / lieutenant governor tickets. New York recognizes electoral fusion ; candidates can count the votes they receive on all party lines toward their overall vote total, but only if the governor and lieutenant governor match on all of the parties ( thus, in theory, it is possible for a gubernatorial candidate to receive the most votes and still lose if there were different lieutenant governors on each party line ; in practice, the third parties used for electoral fusion purposes try to match their respective tickets and reassign other candidates as dummy candidates in less important races to allow the tickets to be unified ). Democratic primary On May 23, 2018, incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo secured the nomination of the Democratic Party at the state convention after winning support from more than 95 % of the state delegates. No other candidates qualified for the primary ballot at the convention, as they all failed to meet the required 25 % delegate threshold. Cynthia Nixon afterwards filed a petition. By July 12, her petition had 65,000 signatures, which is more than four times the 15,000 required to force a primary election.

In addition to the Democratic and Republican Parties, six other political parties will have automatic ballot access ; all six have chosen to exercise it. In order of ballot appearance : Conservative Party of New York State : On April 13, 2018, the Conservative Party executive committee selected Marc Molinaro as its gubernatorial endorsee in what Chairman Michael R. Long termed a `` not very easy '' decision. Nominee : Marcus Molinaro Green Party of New York : On April 12, 2018, Howie Hawkins, after initially implying after the 2014 election that he would not seek the office again, launched his third consecutive campaign for the position, his 21st campaign for public office. Nominee : Howie Hawkins, party co-founder and perennial candidate Running mate : Jia Lee, United Federation of Teachers chapter leader and public school teacher Working Families Party : On April 14, 2018, by a 91 - 8 margin, the Working Families Party nominated Cynthia Nixon as their candidate, with Jumaane Williams as her running mate. The nomination came after the labor unions that formed part of Cuomo 's political machine, who were able to force the party to nominate Cuomo instead of Zephyr Teachout in 2014, withdrew from the party, and Cuomo declined to seek the party 's line. Nixon indicated she would withdraw from the general election if she were to lose the Democratic primary, instead taking a paper candidacy in a New York State Assembly race ( the 66th district seat currently held by Deborah J. Glick, whom Nixon endorses for re-election ) and not actively campaigning to clear her name from the gubernatorial ballot. Nominee : Cynthia Nixon Running mate : Jumaane Williams Independence Party of New York : On December 23, 2017, the Party endorsed incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo for the third consecutive election cycle. Nominee : Andrew Cuomo, incumbent Governor Women 's Equality Party : The party endorsed Cuomo for re-election, as the party remains a front for the Cuomo campaign. Nominee : Andrew Cuomo, incumbent Governor Reform Party of New York State : On May 19, after the party 's executive committee deadlocked between Marcus Molinaro and Joel Giambra in April, delegates at the Reform Party state convention nominated Republican frontrunner Molinaro as their candidate for Governor. Nominee : Marcus Molinaro, Republican primary candidate Independent candidates and third parties without automatic ballot access Any candidate not among the eight qualified New York political parties ( Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Green, Working Families, Independence, Women 's Equality or Reform ) must submit petitions to gain ballot access. Such candidates do not face primary elections. Third parties can secure automatic ballot access in all state and federal elections through the 2022 election if their respective gubernatorial candidates receive at least 50,000 votes in the 2018 general election. Serve America Movement : Recently founded in April, 2017, and will be the first election contested by the party. The party will achieve ballot access if candidate Stephanie Miner achieves 50,000 votes in the general election. Libertarian Party Libertarian Party : On July 12, 2017, Larry Sharpe, business consultant and candidate for Vice President of the United States in 2016, officially announced that he would run for Governor of New York in 2018.

In a blog post, the party denounced Andrew Cuomo, considered Cynthia Nixon unfit for the office and unable to win the Democratic primary, and suggested Marc Molinaro was deliberately chosen so that the Republican Party would lose. In the same post, the party suggested they would support a third - party challenger with more qualifications ; the post was made in April 2018, well before Miner 's entry into the race. Serve America Movement : On June 18, 2018, former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, after expressing informal interest in the Working Families and Reform nominations, entered the gubernatorial race as a third - party candidate. Miner `` plans to run under the banner of an upstart new group, the Serve America Movement, which calls itself SAM, formed by people disaffected by the existing party structure after the 2016 elections. She will be the group 's first candidate. '' Miner intends to circulate petitions to create a SAM Party in New York. Nominee : Stephanie Miner, former state Democratic Party chairwoman and former mayor of Syracuse Running mate : Michael Volpe, mayor of Pelham Rent Is Too Damn High Party : Jimmy McMillan, the party 's founder and figurehead has indicated on the party Web site that he will make another attempt at the office.
