Electoral history of Eliot Spitzer

Electoral history of Eliot Spitzer

Eliot Spitzer has made several attempts at public office, including an unsuccessful run for New York Attorney General in 1994, successful bids in 1998, 2002, and a successful run for Governor of New York in 2006.

Spitzer won a landslide victory in the 2006 election with 69% of the vote. It was the largest margin of victory in a gubernatorial race in New York history, and the second-largest for any statewide race in New York history. The only larger victory was Chuck Schumer's 71% victory in his successful reelection bid for the U.S. Senate two years earlier. Spitzer carried all but three counties in the state.
