Cuomo campaign creates Women's Equality Party

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-election campaign and prominent Democrats said Thursday they are seeking to add a new Women’s Equality ballot line to the November ballot.

Cuomo’s running mate, lieutenant governor candidate Kathy Hochul, announced the new party in New York City and said it will support initiatives important to women, including a 10-point women’s legislative agenda that has repeatedly failed to pass the Legislature.
