Incumbent Kathy Hochul defeated Tom Suozzi and Jumaane Williams in the Democratic primary election for Governor of New York on June 28, 2022. Based on unofficial returns, Hochul received 67.3% of the vote, followed by Williams with 20.0% and Suozzi with 12.6%. Hochul, previously New York's lieutenant governor, became governor in August 2021 following the resignation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
Hochul was first elected lieutenant governor in 2014. She served one term in the U.S. House from 2011 to 2013. The Democratic Party of New York endorsed Hochul at its state convention in February 2022.[1] Hochul's other endorsements included U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, 12 members of the state's U.S. House delegation, 77 members of the state Legislature, and four New York City boroughs' Democratic parties (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens). Public safety was a key issue of Hochul's campaign. In response to a May 2022 shooting in Buffalo, New York, Hochul said, "New York already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country but clearly we need to make them even stronger. New Yorkers deserve to feel safe in schools, in grocery stores, in movie theaters, in shopping malls, and on our streets -- and we must do everything in our power to protect them."[2]
Suozzi was elected to the U.S. House in 2016. Suozzi criticized Hochul for "pandering to the far left" and said his campaign was focused on "reducing taxes, making New York more affordable and cutting crime."[3] Suozzi said, "I’ve always known that taxes are the biggest drawback in our state. Our state and local taxes are one of the highest taxes in the United States of America and it’s one of the reasons people leave to these lower tax states, like North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida."[4] New York City Councilmember Robert Holden and former councilmember Diana Reyna endorsed Suozzi.
Williams was elected New York City public advocate in 2019 and served on the New York City Council from 2009 to 2019. Our Revolution, the Working Families Party, two state legislators, nine members of the New York City Council, and 2021 Buffalo mayoral candidate India Walton endorsed Williams. Williams campaigned on housing, public safety, and healthcare. Williams said he believed that housing was a human right and the government needed to play a role in providing it, that public safety required creating thriving communities, and that New York needed to enact a universal, single-payer healthcare system.[5]
Candidates for the positions of governor and lieutenant governor are elected separately. Candidates for governor may choose to endorse a candidate for lieutenant governor as an unofficial running mate. Suozzi endorsed Diana Reyna and Williams endorsed Ana Maria Archila.[6][7] Hochul initially endorsed then-Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin (D). Following Benjamin's resignation, Hochul appointed Antonio Delgado as lieutenant governor and endorsed him.[8] Delgado won the lieutenant gubernatorial primary with 60.6% of the vote.

Polls
- See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[15] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[16] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[25]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[26][27][28]
