7. I actually voted for Zephyr Teachout in the primary in 2014.

Cuomo worked hard, and we've made (and will continue to make) progress in NYS. We had a real raise in the minimum wage which will continue to increase annually until 2021, and workers are now eligible for 12 weeks of paid family leave.

In addition, CUNY and SUNY colleges are now tuition free for in-state students who fall within certain income guidelines. Cuomo has gotten some good things accomplished since the last election.
