The Republican Party will announce a candidate for governor by the first of the year.
Republican Chair Steven Minarik is supporting former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld.
Rochester billionaire Tom Golisano is considering a fourth run for governor.
Golisano recently switched from the Independence Party to the Republican Party drawing speculation that he would seek the nomination.
Minarik questions whether Golisano is the right candidate for the party.
“There are things that stand in the way. We have to get by the past with regard to races. I just don't know how that's going to happen. We have to have a serious sit down if that's going to happen,” said Minarik.
New Yorker's will vote for a new governor next November. Current Governor George Pataki announced earlier this year that he would not seek a fourth term.

Upstate needs its own state.

The former Governor of MA might run for Governor of NY??
