The 1780 New York Gubernatorial Election was held on April 1, 1780. There were no political Parties in this election, however the leading candidates had made factions around themselves and their policies. 
Incumbent Philip Schuyler had decided to run again. One other candidate ran, George Clinton, who had lost the 1777 Election, but still had a lot of support state-wide.
==Results==
Philip Schuyler had been unable to retake New York City, and grew increasingly more unpopular as the months went on, and by time of the election, he had been ousted in favor of George Clinton.
