New York Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy will not seek re-election after four years in the position, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reports. Duffy tells Governor Andrew Cuomo in a letter Wednesday that he is stepping aside before the November election.

The former Rochester mayor and police chief says he would like to spend more time at home.
