Kathy Hochul
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. Throughout her political career, she has focused on issues such as economic development, women's rights, and public safety.

No one will ever describe my administration as a toxic work environment.
I will fight like hell for you every single day, like I've always done, and always will.
It's not the time to talk politics. But I am prepared to run for re-election and begin the process, as soon as we get everything under control, in the state.
