New York Governor Kathy Hochul delivered the 2026 State of the State Address on Jan. 13.
Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “State of the State” agenda for 2026 will include new policies barring ICE at “sensitive locations,” allowing upstate cities to test autonomous vehicles, a new downstate semiconductor chip design center and another tuition freeze for CUNY and SUNY schools, The Post has learned.
In her fifth “State of the State” address, the upstate Democrat will try to strike a delicate balance between supporting Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic socialist vision for New York City while not isolating moderate and independent voters she needs to secure re-election in November.
