David A. Paterson (born May 20, 1954) is an American politician and the current Lieutenant Governor of New York. He is the first African American and the first legally blind person to hold this position.
He was selected as running mate by New York Attorney General and Democratic Party nominee Eliot Spitzer in the 2006 New York gubernatorial election.
With current news reports indicating that Governor Spitzer may resign as soon as the evening of March 11, 2008,
Paterson could become the first African-American Governor of New York and the first legally blind governor in the nation.
