Conservative Party of N.Y. Nominates

On May 23, the Conservative Party of New York endorsed candidates for statewide office. These statewide endorsements are tantamont to nomination, since it is extremely difficult for a non-endorsed candidate to force a small qualified party in New York to hold a primary (15,000 signatures of Conservative Party registrants would be needed to set up a Conservative Party primary; otherwise the endorsed candidates become the party’s nominees by default). The Conservative Party endorsed John Faso for Governor. He is one of the two contenders for the Republican Party’s nomination; the other contender is William Weld, who is also the Libertarian Party nominee. The Republicans won’t choose between them until a September primary.

  1. so did they just endorse Republican candidates or did they have some candidates of their own

  2. They hardly ever have their own candidates. At least the LPNY does almost all the time, Weld being the big exception this year.

    I remember independent Conservatives in NY years ago, they just rubber stamp the GOP now.
