Incumbent Kathy Hochul (D) defeated Lee Zeldin (R) in the November 8, 2022, general election for governor of New York.

TIME's Charlotte Alter wrote, "In a normal year, New York Governor Kathy Hochul might be coasting to victory in November. She’s a reasonably popular Democrat running for re-election in a blue state that hasn’t elected a Republican governor in 20 years. [...] Yet as Democrats brace for a Republican wave in the midterm elections, Hochul’s race has tightened, getting too close for Democrats’ comfort."

Hochul was the lieutenant governor of New York under former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D). She replaced Cuomo in August 2021 after he resigned from office, making her New York’s first female governor. Hochul represented New York's 26th Congressional District from 2011 to 2012 and served as Erie County clerk from 2007 to 2011.

Zeldin, an attorney and officer with the U.S. Army Reserve, began representing New York's 1st Congressional District in 2015. Before being elected to Congress, Zeldin represented the 3rd District in the New York State Senate.

Zeldin centered his campaign around public safety and said crime increased in New York during Hochul’s tenure. Zeldin said Hochul should have done more to revise the state’s bail laws and accused her of supporting catch-and-release policies. Zeldin said, "There is a crime emergency right now in New York State. The governor is unwilling to call it for what it is. Many of her allies are unwilling to call it for exactly what it is. The public is being lectured to and told to look away." Zeldin said that, if elected, he would change the state bail laws and “fire weak prosecutors.”

In response, Hochul said she had prioritized New Yorkers' safety by focusing on removing weapons from the streets. Hochul highlighted her support for gun control measures and criticized Zeldin for not supporting bills regulating certain types of firearms while in Congress. “While our extreme opponents are trying to keep people scared, I’m working to keep New Yorkers safe with real action to get dangerous weapons out of our communities,” Hochul said. On bail reform, Hochul said she signed into law changes to the state’s bail laws in April 2021.

Hochul also focused on abortion and said she would fight against measures rolling back access to it. At a debate in October, Hochul criticized Zeldin for his record on the issue. "You’re the only person standing on this stage whose name right now — not years past — that right now, is on a bill called 'Life Begins at Conception,'" Hochul said.

In response, Zeldin said he would not seek to change the state’s laws regarding abortion. “Let me be clear. As Governor, I will not change and could not change New York’s abortion law,” Zeldin said in a campaign ad.

Hochul ran on a ticket with Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado (D). Zeldin's ran a ticket with Alison Esposito (R).

This was one of 36 gubernatorial elections that took place place in 2022. The governor serves as a state's top executive official and is the only executive office that is elected in all 50 states. At the time of the 2022 elections, there were 28 Republican governors and 22 Democratic governors. Click here for a map with links to our coverage of all 50 states' responses to the pandemic and here for an overview of all 36 gubernatorial elections that took place in 2022.

Heading into the 2022 elections, there were 23 Republican trifectas, 14 Democratic trifectas, and 13 divided governments where neither party held trifecta control. There were 23 Republican triplexes, 18 Democratic triplexes, and nine divided governments where neither party held triplex control.

A state government trifecta refers to a situation where one party controls a state's governorship and majorities in both chambers of the state legislature. A state government triplex refers to a situation where the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state are all members of the same political party.

• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
