Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, wrote an opinion piece for the Times Union: “Commentary: Don’t write off Hochul just yet.”


He was also interviewed by Newsday about Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado jumping into the governor’s race.



Levy said Delgado has to be viewed as a “deep underdog.” His name recognition is low and Hochul already has $16 million in campaign funds, to Delgado’s $969,000. “Delgado has spent a lot of time traveling the state as lieutenant governor but I’m not sure what kind of network he built up,” Levy said.
