Candidates

edit

The Democratic Party nominated U.S. senator William L. Marcy. They nominated University of the State of New York regent John Tracy for Lieutenant Governor.

The Anti-Masonic Party nominated state assemblyman and 1830 gubernatorial candidate Francis Granger. They nominated Samuel Stevens for Lieutenant Governor. The National Republicans supported the Granger/Stevens ticket as part of a coalition agreement ahead of the 1832 presidential election, which saw the two parties pool their votes in an unsuccessful effort to deny Andrew Jackson the electoral vote of New York.[1]
