Surrounded by supporters, New York state gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, second from left, speaks as he kicks off his campaign for the governor's race with a news conference, Thursday March 6, 2014, on the steps of the Bronx County Courthouse in New York. The Republican kicked off his campaign in the Bronx because the county has been "forgotten economically" by the nation, he said, and touted his Hispanic voter base in Westchester County. The Bronx is the state's only county with a majority Hispanic population. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
