Outgoing Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio set his sights on Albany Tuesday morning when he filed paperwork to run for Governor of New York State; leaping into a crowded field following the resignation of Andrew Cuomo over multiple allegations of sexual assault.
“De Blasio, who is term-limited as mayor, on Oct. 28 filed two of the three forms required to create a committee called ‘New Yorkers for a Fair Future,’ according to the state Board of Elections. Once he files further paperwork, the committee will allow him to start fundraising for public, statewide office,” reports Yahoo News.
“If de Blasio officially declares his candidacy, he will face a Democratic primary against Governor Kathy Hochul, the former lieutenant governor who took over the Executive Mansion in August when Andrew Cuomo resigned over a sexual harassment scandal. Soon after becoming the state’s first female governor, Hochul declared her intention to run for the post in 2022. She was joined last month by bids from New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and New York Attorney General Letitia James,” adds the outlet.

De Blasio’s potential candidacy follows his disastrous bid for the White House. After months of campaigning, the Mayor failed to reach 1% of support from his own party.
