In 1937, there was only one state officer to be elected statewide for a standing office: a judge of the Court of Appeals, to succeed Irving Lehman, whose term would expire at the end of the year. Besides, 15 delegates-at-large for the constitutional convention were elected statewide, the remaining delegates were elected in the assembly districts.
The Socialist met on September 19 and nominated Miss Marion L. Severn for the Court of Appeals.[1]
The Republican State Committee met on September 23. They endorsed the Democratic incumbent Irving Lehman.[2]
The American Labor State Committee met on September 25 and endorsed the Democratic incumbent Irving Lehman for re-election. Besides, delegates-at-large for the constitutional convention were nominated, including the endorsement of seven Democrats but no Republicans.[4]
Result
The jointly nominated incumbent Irving was re-elected.
This was the last general election of assemblymen in an odd-numbered year.
