Long Island GOP congressman Lee Zeldin reportedly wanted several debates in various locations around the state.

Most polls have the governor leading Zeldin by double digits. Election Day is Tuesday, November 8th. In addition to the governor, U.S. Senate, and other state-wide races, there are contested races locally for Congress, state Senate districts 38 and 40; Assembly districts 96, 97, 98 and 99; Ramapo Town Justice, Stony Point Town Council and Superintendent of Highways, Trustees in the villages of Haverstraw, Nyack, Piermont, Sloatsburg and Suffern, and Justice for the village of Suffern.
