Jimmy Vielkind reports at Politico that Democrat Cynthia Nixon, not expecting the 25 percent support from the state's Democratic Committee at the party convention in Long Island, will petition to get on the ballot to run in a primary against incumbent Andrew Cuomo for governor. “I think you have to go on a case-by-case basis,” Nixon said. “You know, the governor is a two-time incumbent, he’s the son of a political dynasty, New York dynasty. He obviously has a lot of institutional support, but I think people in New York — certainly the people on the ground — know that we have to start addressing all of the issues of inequality and racial and economic inequality.” Instead, she will gather signatures, while party bosses add Andrew Cuomo's name to the ballot. In 1982, Cuomo's father faced a similar situation, with most Democrats backing New York City Mayor Ed Koch at the convention. “I’d rather get shut out by the convention,” Andrew Cuomo recalled himself saying in his memoir, “All Things Possible.” “Then I could say the Democratic bosses shut us out.” Read the full story at Politico.
