As New Yorkers prepare to choose their governor this November, what are the forces shaping the race — and the future of the state?
As part of our ongoing State of New York series, 92NY invites candidates for city and state elections to present their vision for New York’s next chapter in a conversation with 92NY CEO Seth Pinsky.
First elected Nassau County Executive in 2021, Bruce Blakeman has made public safety, taxes, affordability, and opposition to a number of Albany policies central to his tenure. Before becoming County Executive, he served as a Hempstead Town Councilman, a Nassau County legislator and presiding officer, and a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Now, as he campaigns for governor against incumbent Kathy Hochul, Blakeman has put forward an agenda focused on lowering taxes and the cost of living, changing state energy policy, and pursuing a more aggressive approach to crime and public safety.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Blakeman and Pinsky will discuss what Blakeman sees as the successes and challenges of his tenure in Nassau County, what he believes New York’s government is getting right — and wrong — and his vision for the future of our state.
Part of 92NY’s commitment to convening substantive conversations about the people and ideas shaping public life, this program does not constitute an endorsement of any candidate or campaign.
