Politics
Bruce Blakeman, a former Nassau County lawmaker who ran for New York Comptroller in 1998 but lost, was the first to enter the campaign in February 2010. Former U.S. Representative Joe DioGuardi announced his candidacy on March 16, 2010, and was quickly followed by economist David Malpass. Blakeman and Malpass both received the required 25% of delegate votes at the state Republican convention in June 2010. Blakeman received the majority of delegate votes to be the designated nominee; DioGuardi did not, despite leading in primary polls and receiving the Conservative Party’s endorsement.
DioGuardi was qualified to run in the Republican primary against Blakeman and Malpass after filing over 25,000 petitions to get on the ballot. Regardless of whether they won the Republican primary, each candidate had an additional ballot line to compete on; DioGuardi was backed by the Conservative Party of New York State, Malpass by Carl Paladino’s Taxpayers Party of New York, and Blakeman by the Nassau County-based Tax Revolt Party. After losing the primary the Malpass relinquished the Taxpayers line to the DioGuardi, while Blakeman remained on the general election ballot as the TRP candidate.
