George Pataki (R, Incumbent)
|
|
Buoyed by his leadership during and after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and a liberal social platform crafted to the tastes of an overwhelmingly Democratic state, Gov. George Pataki easily won a third term over state Comptroller H. Carl McCall, the state's first black candidate for governor, and well-financed independent Thomas Golisano. Pataki has long been identified as a tough-on-crime, tax-cutting moderate. This time around, Pataki cashed in his small government rhetoric for proposals to increase spending on education and healthcare and is actively supporting gay rights legislation.
