Of the three branches of government, the legislative branch is intended to be the most representative of the people. However, it consistently faces the lowest approval ratings among the American public. Although the public largely disapproves of Congress as a legislative body, most Americans support their own representative.1 This phenomenon is reflected in high reelection rates for congressional incumbents.

    A lack of debate | CSNY https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/no... A lack of debate | CSNY Annie McDonoughis an editorial intern at City & State. Photo illustration by Alex Law Frontrunners are playing it safe by avoiding debates. It happens more often than you might think. Debates between candidates for office have so long been a hallmark of the American election process that it’s easy to forget no one is actually required to square off in front of the public. This year, some incumbents in both parties – including Gov. Andrew Cuomo – are taking advantage of that fact, so far declining to participate in debates against their challengers. In addition to Cuomo, incumbents who have not yet agreed to official debates this year include Republican members of Congress Chris Collins – a Western New York representative who is under indictment and facing a close race against Democratic challenger Nate McMurray – and Lee Zeldin on Long Island. Zeldin did, however, participate in a forum discussing environmental issues with his Democratic opponent Perry Gershon. Candidates in other statewide races will debate , including New York City Public Advocate Letitia James and Keith Wofford who are vying for the open seat of the state attorney general’s office. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, too, will face Republican Chele Farley and state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli already took on challenger Jonathan Trichter. While Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul debated challenger Jumaane Williams in the Democratic primary, there have been no announcements about a debate between Hochul and her opponent in the general election, Republican Julie Killian.

    Stephanie Miner: Only insiders worry about her being a spoiler https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/ste... Stephanie Miner: Only insiders worry about her being a spoiler Jeff Coltinis a staff reporter at City & State. He covers New York City Hall.@jccoltin Mike Groll/AP/REX/Shutterstock Stephanie Miner with Gov. Andrew Cuomo | Mike Groll/AP/REX/Shutterstock The former Democratic mayor of Syracuse is running against Cuomo as an independent. Stephanie Miner, the former Democratic mayor of Syracuse, said Monday that she’s running for governor on an independent line, criticizing the “outrageous corruption” under Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Miner’s late entry into the race seems to complicate the picture for all involved, especially Cuomo, who may now have a seasoned, liberal politician competing for left-leaning votes in November. The actress and activist Cynthia Nixon has run an energetic campaign in the Democratic primary against Cuomo. But, despite earning the progressive-aligned Working Families Party ballot line, Nixon is not expected to stay on the ballot for the November 6 general election if she loses the primary, lest she play the role of spoiler and inadvertently help Republican Marc Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, win. 1 of 3 6/19/2018, 9:17 AM Stephanie Miner: Only insiders worry about her being a spoiler https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/ste... But as an independent candidate, Miner will not be competing in the September 13 primary, and is focusing entirely on the general election in November. In a phone interview with City & State on Monday, Miner said she was not concerned about being a spoiler who could help the conservative Molinaro get elected.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Katherine Delgado (914-960-6050) [email protected] Reform Party: Cuomo 46, Molinaro 43 Contact: Frank Morano, 816-8-MORANO, [email protected] Reform Party: Independent Poll Cuomo Leads Molinaro 46-43 Cuomo leads multi candidate with 31% over Molinaro 30% and Nixon 14% New York, New York - In the absence of independent public polling, historically conducted during this period, the Reform Party commissioned an independent IVR poll, August 29-30 of 2783 likely general election voters to survey their views on the upcoming Governor's race and other important issues. Incumbent Governor Andrew Cuomo, holds a three-point lead over his Republican and Reform party opponent Marc Molinaro, 46-43 percent, according to a new poll commissioned by the Reform Party of New York and conducted by Liberty Opinion Research. In the multi-ballot question, Cuomo leads with 31% over Molinaro 30%, Cynthia Nixon 14%, Stephanie Miner 5%, Larry Sharpe 5%, Howie Hawkins 5% and 10% Not Sure. "Bad news for Andrew Cuomo, over 53% of New Yorkers surveyed believe it's time to give a new person a chance, which is buoying Molinaro who still is unknown by a majority of New Yorkers," said Reform Party Chair Curtis Sliwa. Sliwa added, "While a multi candidate race closes the margin even further to only one point, what is clear that we are headed to a competitive general election in November, which is good for New Yorkers who deserve a real choice." The poll also indicated that Cuomo's "America was never that great" gaffe resulted in 47% of voters to be less likely to vote for the Governor.
