"She has established some goodwill because she's been visiting people all over the district," Christina Greer, an associate professor of political science at Fordham University, told ABC News.New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul speaks during a news conference the day after Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation at the New York State Capitol, in Albany, N.Y., Aug. 11, 2021.
The governor's grace period may not be as long as other elected officials given the increased attention on the state from all over the world as it rides out the pandemic and moves to recover economically, Greer warned. Since she was elected as lieutenant governor in 2014, she has traveled the state and shown up at events such as community block parties and advocated for several proposals such as equal pay and empowerment opportunities for minorities, Friedman said.
Friedman added that Hochul's announcement that she would run for re-election next year would help her during her transition. Now constituents and other leaders won't have to spend time pondering about her political future and can focus on policy, according to the professor.At the same time, knowing Hochul will spend next year campaigning does open her up to more scrutiny, Greer said.
