Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed that one of her first acts upon replacing Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be to choose somebody to replace her as lieutenant governor
ALBANY — Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed on Wednesday that one of her first acts upon replacing Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be to choose somebody to replace her as lieutenant governor — a decision that will quickly help define her administration and provide the first hints as to her approach to winning a full term in 2022.
The incoming governor isn’t yet tipping her hat as to who she might pick. But the looming decision has much of Albany gossiping about who her choice will be. The consensus among political observers seems to be that Hochul, who is white and from Buffalo, will almost certainly select a person of color from New York City. And it will likely be somebody who will stay with her on the 2022 ticket, rather than a placeholder.
Another name that’s been widely floated has been New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. He ran against Hochul from the left in 2018, and is seen as a potential gubernatorial candidate in 2022. Joining forces with Williams could wind up being a way for Hochul to consolidate the party under her leadership and avoid headaches next year.
