My Take

Mario Cuomo is, to me, proof that political rhetoric can carry a conscience. Born in Jamaica, Queens, the son of Italian immigrants who once chased a baseball career, he climbed from the law into three terms as governor of New York. Within his party, few could match the moral weight of his oratory, and he was courted for the presidency he never sought. I respect that he kept facing his own state's people rather than reaching for the bigger prize, and that he aimed that famous eloquence at the vulnerable rather than himself. He died on New Year's Day 2015, but that integrity stays with me.

Overview

Mario Matthew Cuomo (, Italian: [ˈmaːrjo ˈkwɔːmo]; June 15, 1932 – January 1, 2015) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 52nd governor of New York for three terms, from 1983 to 1995. A member of the Democratic Party, Cuomo previously served as the lieutenant governor of New York from 1979 to 1982 and the secretary of state of New York from 1975 to 1978.
