The Public Record
Kathy Hochul is the 57th Governor of New York, having assumed office on August 24, 2021. She is the first female governor of the state. Prior to her governorship, Hochul served as the Lieutenant Governor of New York from January 1, 2015, until she became governor.

Tonight we mourn four New Yorkers, including one of New York's Finest, taken in an act of senseless violence.
All's fair in love and war. We're following the rules. We do redistricting every 10 years.
