For the first time in about two decades, he's potentially being challenged in a primary. Now, following last week's NYS Democratic Convention, DiNapoli is the party's nominee, with none of the challengers receiving enough of the vote to be automatically on the ballot. Therefore, Raj Goyle, Drew Warshaw and Adem Bunkeddeko will need to petition to get on the ballot. Joseph Hernandez has been chosen as the nominee for the New York GOP.
