When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police, Tax Hiking Communist causing catastrophe for New York families,&#8221; Stefanik wrote. &#8220;I am running for Governor to make New York affordable and safe FOR ALL.  Democrats, Republicans, and Independents will unify to save our state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Stefanik may be hoping to stir up statewide distaste for Mamdani, a democratic socialist, but her insurgent campaign in a largely blue state has similarities to how Mamdani successfully defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Stefanik is 41, Hochul 67 &#8211; the same age as Cuomo. Stefanik also launched her campaign with an army of support, including the endorsement of state Republican chair Ed Cox, despite rumblings from Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman that he might run as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Elise Stefanik is a unifier and a party builder with the brains, the guts and the resources to win statewide next year. She has fought for our principles every day of her career, and never backs down. She is the warrior we need to lead the fight against Democrats&#8217; corrupt Albany machine,&#8221; Cox said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Apparently, screwing over New Yorkers in Congress wasn&#8217;t enough&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Hochul&#8217;s campaign shared a statement in response, calling the congresswoman President Trump&#8217;s &#8220;number one cheerleader in Congress and his right-hand woman in his war on New York.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apparently, screwing over New Yorkers in Congress wasn&#8217;t enough \u2013 now she&#8217;s trying to bring Trump&#8217;s chaos and skyrocketing costs to our state,&#8221; a Hochul campaign official wrote. &#8220;While Stefanik puts Trump first and New York last, Governor Hochul is lowering costs, cutting middle-class taxes, and fighting for the New Yorkers Stefanik abandoned.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Stefanik and Hochul would both have to win their parties&#8217; respective primaries in order to face each other in the general election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/hochul-stefanik-ny-governor-siena-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Siena poll released in September<\/a><\/span>\u00a0looked at the results of a hypothetical matchup between them, and had the governor leading 52%-27%.<\/p>\n<h2>Rep.
