The cabinet of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer consisted of his Executive Chamber, as well as the heads of the various departments of the Government of New York.

Spitzer was responsible for appointing his Executive Chamber. These appointments did not require the confirmation of the New York State Senate. Most political advisors report to the Secretary to the Governor of New York, who is the most powerful appointed cabinet official. Most policy advisors report to the Director of State Operations, who also answers to the Secretary to the Governor.^[1] The Chief of Staff is in charge of the Office of Scheduling and holds no authority over other cabinet officials.^[2]
