Andrew Cuomo



         


Andrew Mark Cuomo (born December 6, 1957) was the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Bill Clinton between 1997 and 2001.

Cuomo was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York in 2002. Before the primary, however, he withdrew in favor of Carl McCall. He previously served as head of the New York City Commission on the Homeless. Many experts are expecting him to run for Governor of New York again, as a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2006.

Cuomo is the son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo. He and his wife, Kerry Kennedy Cuomo, have three daughters, but the couple announced their separation in 2003.
