NEW YORK (PIX11) — In less than two weeks, New Yorkers will cast their vote for who they want to be their party’s representative in the gubernatorial primary.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, the incumbent frontrunner, faces a number of Democratic challengers. In the Republican Party, Andrew Guiliani, Harry Wilson, Rob Astorino and Congressman Lee Zeldin will square off against each other in the primary on June 28. Early voting runs until June 26.
Zeldin was the favored candidate of choice among Republican voters ahead of the forum. He had 34% of the vote in a recent PIX11/Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll.
There’s a tight battle for second based on the polling. Astorino — a former two-term Westchester County executive — took 16% of the vote, while Wilson — a moderate Republican who worked for former President Barack Obama — garnered 15% of the vote. Giuliani took 13% of the vote. More than one-fifth of Republican voters were still undecided when the survey was conducted.
The nominee will face an uphill battle in the general election; registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by more than two to one in New York.
Before that, the candidates will share their visions for the future of New York in a PIX11 gubernatorial forum. Viewers will get to hear candidates’ views on crime, the economy, housing and more.

I believe Zeldin has the Conservative Party line.
Astorino was the Republican-Conservative nominee in 2014.
