From The Associated Press:
New York Republicans on Wednesday picked former U.S. Rep. Rick Lazio as their candidate for governor and rejected a challenge from Democrat-turned-Republican Steve Levy.
“It is time we are unified,” Lazio said as he accepted the party’s nomination during the GOP’s fractious convention in Manhattan. “We are going to Albany and when we get there, we are going to tear down the wall of incompetence and corruption. … They have had their chance, and they have failed.”
Then he took aim at Democratic nominee Andrew Cuomo, the popular and well-financed attorney general and son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo.
“Andrew Cuomo has been too political for too long,” Lazio said. “Isn’t it time we reject the status Cuomo?”
