NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Rep. Lee Zeldin announced Thursday morning that he’s running for New York governor in 2022.
Zeldin, a Long Island Republican and frequent critic of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, announced his campaign on "Fox & Friends."
“After talking to New Yorkers who feel like this is a last stand, the last great opportunity to save New York. And the fact that to save our state, Andrew Cuomo’s got to go, I am announcing here this morning that I am running for governor of New York in 2022,” Zeldin said.
The four-term congressman followed up the appearance with a tweet that included the hashtag #CuomosGottaGo.
“I'll bring the kind of relentless, fighting spirit towards helping to save our state that Cuomo reserves for multi-million-dollar self-congratulatory book deals, cover-ups, abuse & self-dealing,” Zeldin tweeted.
Zeldin, 41, made the announcement a day after Rudy Giuliani’s 35-year-old son, Andrew Giuliani, said he planned to run for governor of the state. Andrew Giuliani is an ally of former President Donald Trump.
