Andrew Mark Cuomo ( / ˈkwoʊmoʊ /; Italian: [ˈkwɔːmo]; born December 6, 1957) is an American lawyer, author, and politician serving as the 56th governor of New York since 2011. A member of the Democratic Party, he was elected to the same position his father, Mario Cuomo, held for three terms.
In 2007, Cuomo was active in a high-profile investigation into lending practices and anti-competitive relationships between student lenders and universities. Specifically, many universities steered student borrowers to a "preferred lender," which resulted in the borrowers' incurring higher interest rates.
In August 2017, the Cuomo administration awarded more than $7 million, financed with money from large bank settlements, in grants to New York colleges to offer courses to New York prisoners. In January 2018, Cuomo proposed reforms that would "reduce delays during trials, ban asset seizures in cases where there has been no conviction and make it easier for former convicts to get a job after leaving prison." He also called for an end to cash bail for minor crimes.
On November 4, 2014, Cuomo was reelected for a second term with 54% of the vote, while Astorino received 40.6% of the vote. Despite low voter turnout, Cuomo won the general election by a comfortable margin; however, his margin of victory was smaller than it had been in his 2010 victory.
He said that he would consider restoring the voting rights of all parolees (more than 35,000), and would also enfranchise new parolees throughout his term.
During his governorship, Cuomo oversaw the passage of the Marriage Equality Act in 2011 to legalize same-sex marriage, the Compassionate Care Act in 2014 to legalize the medical use of cannabis, and the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act in 2021 to legalize the recreational use of cannabis.
In a June 16, 1999, speech, Cuomo declared that one purpose of the program was to fight against HUD's abolition.
Andrew Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo, the 56th governor of New York, is the son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo and brother of news anchor Chris Cuomo. He formerly served as New York's attorney general and U.S. secretary of HUD.
Andrew Mark Cuomo was born in New York City on December 6, 1957, to mother Matilda Raffa Cuomo and father Mario Cuomo, former governor of New York and the son of Italian immigrants. After graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School in 1975, Andrew Cuomo enrolled at Fordham University, graduating with his bachelor's degree in 1979. He went on to attend Albany Law School, where he received his Juris Doctorate degree in 1982.
As New York's top executive, Cuomo became known for focusing on LGBT rights, women's rights and economic improvements. He made a point of submitting a balanced budget every year on schedule, and lowered corporate and manufacturing taxes to spur job growth.
During spring 2020, Cuomo made a state requirement that made nursing homes take back residents who had recovered from the virus. Critics said that it increased the number of Covid-related deaths among nursing home residents.
Not long after winning reelection, Cuomo took a bold step on a controversial environmental issue: He officially approved the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's call for a ban on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which is used to obtain natural gas and oil, making New York became the second state to ban the practice.
It was perceived as a major gaffe for the Democratic hopeful, and Cuomo dropped out of the public eye for a few years to work in real estate. Cuomo returned to the spotlight by running for the position of New York attorney general in 2006.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under President Bill Clinton. He took over as HUD secretary in 1997, and served in the role until 2001.
Six weeks ago, attorney Elkan Abramowitz confirmed that his white-collar legal defense firm, Morvillo Abramowitz, had begun representing Cuomo’s office in response to the federal criminal inquiry. Azzopardi told New York Law Journal at the time that Abramowitz was representing the “Executive Chamber.”.
The federal investigation is examining whether Cuomo's administration deliberately manipulated data on nursing home deaths during the coronavirus pandemic. Both of the investigations also have prompted senior aides and other members of the governor's administration to retain private counsel.
Prior to the report’s release, certain Cuomo aides allegedly cut out information showing a higher death toll in nursing homes caused by COVID-19, a matter that's now the focus of a federal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn.
Depending on the circumstances, a state employee’s application for reimbursement might also be approved if no charges are filed and an investigation is closed. Like Bruno, Cuomo would likely be allowed to use campaign funds to pay for any upfront legal costs, rather than paying the cost out of his own pocket.
Cuomo’s office also isn’t saying whether the governor will front the money for any attorneys representing him personally. In addition, it's unclear whether taxpayers will be on the hook for other state officials’ legal costs, including members of the governor's coronavirus task force.
The attorneys were retained in the wake of an investigation by the state attorney general's office, which is probing multiple sexual harassment and misconduct allegations against Cuomo, and a separate investigation by the FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn.
Azzopardi said that Glavin – Cuomo’s attorney in the sexual harassment inquiry – is not working for the governor on the nursing home matter. Morvillo Abramowitz has previously represented the Executive Chamber in three criminal matters and one civil case.
