Fox News
Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be replaced by Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer, a former attorney general, defeated Republican candidate John Faso that year, then resigned in 2008 after a scandal involving a high-priced prostitution ring. His replacement, former Lt. Gov. David Patterson, called off his campaign for a full term in office in 2010 amid allegations that his administration improperly intervened after a woman accused one of his close aides of domestic violence.More Related News
