Former State Sen. Gipson Launches Campaign Committee For Governor Former State Sen. Gipson Launches Campaign Committee For Governor
Former State Sen. Gipson Launches Campaign Committee For Governor Terry Gipson, who served one term as state senator in Dutchess and Putnam, is one step closer to primarying Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Gipson launched a campaign committee Thursday, which will allow him to raise money to challenge Cuomo in a Democratic primary. Cuomo is running for a third term. I don't see our governor being a strong leader," Gipson said back in August. "Our future is in danger." While he was in the state senate, Gipson said the executive office was not helpful in getting progressive legislation to move forward, despite being a Democratic governor in a Democratic-l…
