Joanie Mahoney endorses Andrew Cuomo for governor

Karl Palanido is a crackpot, but her lack of party loyalty is causing much consternation among state Republicans. 

Saying she’s “proud to put aside party affiliation,” GOP rising star Joanie Mahoney formally supported New York’s attorney general in the Nov. 2 election.


“We need a governor who will help reduce our tax burden, empower Upstate and make New York an affordable place to work and raise a family,” she said in a statement.


Mahoney is the Onondaga County Executive, and her endorsement gives Cuomo strong support in the central part of the state.
