Mario Cuomo was elected governor of New York three times and was, for years, the Democratic Party’s most sought-after presidential prospect. His son Andrew Cuomo won the same office three times a generation later, making the Cuomos a rare father-son pair to each lead the nation’s fourth-largest state.

How this is measured
Combined career popular votes are summed across the 2 family members we track, each counted once across every presidential, U.S. Senate, governor, and U.S. House election in our data. Family membership is hand-curated and verified against primary sources, never matched by surname alone, so unrelated namesakes are never folded in. A vote for a presidential ticket counts for both the president and the vice-presidential candidate, matching how each profile reports its own totals.
