And it only took 233 years and a resignation!
Many New Yorkers are all asking the same question following New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation: Who is Kathy Hochul, his replacement? For starters, we know that Hochul will be the first woman to ever lead New York State as Governor—but there’s plenty more to know about her aside from this historic role.
Following the August 10 press conference, Hochul also announced her support for Cuomo’s decision to resign, tweeting, “I agree with Governor Cuomo’s decision to step down. It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers.” Hochul went on to confirm her new role: “As someone who has served at all levels of government and is next in the line of succession, I am prepared to lead as New York State’s 57th Governor,” she wrote.
Additionally, Hochul has worked independently to support local communities. In 2006, she and her mother and aunt founded the Kathleen Mary House, a transitional home for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. She is also the co-founder of the Village Action Coalition, which seeks to help local small businesses “survive competition from big box stores.”
