Rockefeller to seek second term as New York governor in 1962
Nelson Rockefeller announced his plan to run for re election as New York governor in 1962. He declined to discuss a presidential bid in 1964 or whether he supports Nixon for renomination. He said discussions of the next presidential election were premature and would keep him in a strong position if he wins another term. Rockefeller added he will work closely with Nixon and plans to run with Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson and Atty. Gen. Louis Lefkowitz. He urged party outreach and rejected postmortems on Nixon loss while noting tax rebate debates and campaign planning for 1962.
