New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado announced he will not run for reelection in 2026, signaling a possible gubernatorial candidacy. His announcement follows months of public disagreements with Gov. Kathy Hochul, including calls for the resignation of Mayor Eric Adams. Delgado emphasized the need for accountable leadership in government, reiterating his commitment to being a voice for New Yorkers both now and in the future, suggesting he is looking to maintain a significant role in state politics.
When I first made the decision to run for office after the 2016 presidential election, I did so because I believed we needed more leaders in government willing to hold themselves accountable to the people - and only the people.
I believe New Yorkers deserve this kind of leadership now more than ever.
I'm determined to be your voice in state government now and in the future.
Delgado hinted at a potential gubernatorial run, suggesting a shift in his political ambitions.
