Malcolm Wilson (New York)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Malcolm Wilson (February 26, 1914 – March 13, 2000) was the Governor of New York from December 18, 1973 to January 1, 1975. He was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1939 to 1958. He also served in the Navy during World War II. In 1958, he was elected lieutenant governor on a ticket with Nelson A. Rockefeller, and served in that position until Rockefeller resigned. Wilson's attempt to be elected governor on his own right was thwarted by the election of Hugh L. Carey. After his retirement from politics, Wilson was Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Manhattan Savings Bank. In 1994, the Tappan Zee Bridge was renamed in honor of Wilson. There is also a park in his native Yonkers, New York named for him.

After graduating from Fordham Preparatory School in 1929, Wilson earned a bachelor's degree from Fordham University in 1933 and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law in 1936.
