New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is making preparations in the event she becomes governor as Gov. Andrew Cuomo grapples with an impeachment inquiry and a report that concluded he broke state and federal sexual harassment laws
he broke state and federal sexual harassment laws. If so, she would be the first woman to serve as governor of New York.
While she is well-known in western New York, state officials said Ms. Hochul hasn’t been a part of the Democratic governor’s inner circle and didn’t benefit from the national attention he gained during the coronavirus pandemic—nor the criticism he endured as more about his actions surfaced. Since taking office in 2015, the Democratic lieutenant governor has regularly kept up contact with political and governmental leaders around New York and has traveled to all 62 counties in the state. She previously had served as clerk of Erie County, which includes her home city of Buffalo, and was elected to Congress in 2011 for a partial term. As lieutenant governor, she chairs a group of regional economic-development councils and often presides over the state Senate.
An official in the lieutenant governor’s office said Ms. Hochul was receiving advice from a variety of sources but had no inside information on Mr. Cuomo’s plans. The official said it was the job of the lieutenant governor to be prepared to take over as governor.
