Aaron Burr became the governor of New York in 1779. He served in this position for one year, until 1780. His tenure was marked by the challenges of the Revolutionary War and local governance during that tumultuous period.

In the New York Gubernatorial Election of 1804, Aaron Burr lost to Morgan Lewis.
Aaron Burr challenged Alexander Hamilton to a duel primarily due to a longstanding personal and political rivalry. The immediate catalyst was Hamilton's derogatory remarks about Burr during the 1804 election campaign for governor of New York, which Burr found deeply insulting. Feeling that his honor was at stake, Burr sought to defend it through the duel, which ultimately resulted in Hamilton's death.
In the 1804 New York gubernatorial election, Aaron Burr faced strong opposition from his former ally, George Clinton, who was the incumbent governor at the time. Burr's campaign was marred by political rivalries and controversies, leading to a lack of support from key political factions. Ultimately, Burr lost the election decisively, which significantly weakened his political career and influence.
