New Yorkers gave Kathy Hochul another 4 years in Albany.
Hochul won her second full term as governor. In her time leading the state the Democrat has managed to form relationships with leaders as different as New York City Mayor Mandani and President Trump.
Hochul is the state’s first female governor. She defeated Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a longtime friend of Trump. The 68-year old has worked with the administration on new energy projects but fought its bid to kill the congestion pricing program, which is raising billions for transit improvements.
