Revision as of 08:09, 30 March 2006
David Paterson is currently the minority leader of the New York State Senate. New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has chosen Paterson as his running mate for Lieutenant Governor of New York in the 2006 statewide election.
Representing most of Manhattan above Central Park, as well as some of the Upper West Side, Paterson currently lives in Harlem.
Legally blind, Paterson is married with two children, and a graduate of Columbia and Hofstra Universities.
Each year, for 14 years, Paterson introduced bills to legalize resisting arrest (currently the NY State Penal Code makes it a crime to resist arrest) and to mandate that police shoot suspect's arms and not torsos. The bills were defeated each time.
In 1999 he ran the New York City Marathon.
