Kris Alingod - AHN News Contributor
Albany, NY, United States (AHN) - Former Rep. Rick Lazio officially bowed out of the race for governor in New York on Monday, two weeks after losing to a political newcomer with the backing of the Tea Party.
Lazio, 52, announced his decision during a press conference. According to the New York Daily News, he met with Republican Party candidate Carl Paladino and the chair of the state Conservative Party, Michael Long, on Sunday.
"While my heart beckons me forward, my head tells me that my continued presence on the Conservative Party line would simply lead to the election of Andrew Cuomo and the continuation of an entrenched political machine," Lazio was quoted by NY1 as saying.
Lazio, who ran for the Senate against Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2000 and served as general counsel for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, did not endorse Paladino.
A four-term congressman, Lazio was chosen as the Republican nominee in a party convention in June over Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy, the state GOP chairman's pick for governor. The divisive convention also had Paladino, a businessman with the support of Tea Party activists, finishing with 8 percent of votes.
Paladino, 64, petitioned his way onto the ballot, forcing the first Republican primary for governor in more than a decade. A volatile political climate and continuing public dissatisfaction with the incumbents buoyed him to a landslide victory against Lazio in the primary.
Paladino, a former Democrat and senior managing partner in a law firm, is behind New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the Democratic candidate in the race, by 19 points, according to a Marist poll released over the weekend. A Siena University survey also has Cuomo leading, 57 to 24 percent.
The two candidates are seeking to succeed Gov. David Paterson, who ended his campaign early this year amid ethics allegations.
