Former NY Gov. AndrewCuomo is behaving like a candidate for office despite his reluctance to commit to a bid, according to the New York State Board of Elections.
Cuomo's conduct"fits the definition of candidate set forth in Election Law," Michael Johnson, chief enforcement counsel for the election board, ruled in response to a Sept. 9, 2021, complaint from government reform group Common Cause/NY suggesting the former governor misappropriated campaign funds after he left office.
"Once again Albany insiders made allegations that laws were broken in an attempt to create headlines and advance their political agenda only to have those actually in charge of enforcing the law determine that no violation took place," he wrote in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner.
Common Cause/NY alleged in last September's filing that Cuomo"left office with a campaign war chest of over $18 million" and"almost immediately" hired a spokesman,"apparently paying for those services from his campaign funds." Despite leaving office on Aug. 24, 2021, amid sexual harassment allegations, there has been chatter about Cuomo, who has denied all claims of inappropriate touching, returning to public office.
