Cuomo’s replacement, Kathy Hochul, says she wants to clean up New York’s toxic culture. These women say that’s not going to be easy.
Last year, New York Senator Julia Salazar was approached by a former New York political staffer whom Salazar described as still politically well-connected in Brooklyn. He wanted to talk to her about some issues, he said. Salazar represents the area where they both live, so she said yes, expecting a chat over coffee.
“I’ve worked in other industries, including service industries. I’ve worked as a waitress and barista,” Salazar said. “And in all of those workplace environments, I did not find sexism and gender-based harassment and sexual harassment to be as pervasive as it is in politics in Albany.” Rivera also filed complaints against King in 2018 along with several other staffers; the council’s ethics committee produced a 148-page report that found a number of instances of King’s misconduct, but still, a vote to expel him in 2019 failed. After further complaints surfaced, he was expelled in 2020. that “few party leaders in the city had as much influence as Mr. Lopez.
“The very first week I was there [in the Capitol] I had my ass grabbed in an elevator,” Assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou said. She was a staffer at the time and said she later found out the man who did it was a legislator. Most of the women I spoke with have never worked in politics in another state or state capital, so they weren’t sure whether Albany is unique. But they had thoughts about why the environment is as hostile to women as it is.
