Phil Taitt has more on Gov. Hochul’s victory.<\/p>\n
New York voters didn’t just return Gov. Kathy Hochul to office Tuesday night. They also made history.<\/p>\n
With Hochul’s reelection and the election of Adrienne Adams as lieutenant governor, New York will have its first all-female statewide executive leadership team. Hochul, who became New York’s first female governor in 2021, secured a second full term after defeating Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman.<\/p>\n
The historic milestone comes after Hochul and Adams campaigned as a ticket and frequently highlighted the opportunity to make history together. Hochul won by roughly 20 points statewide, running up large margins in New York City.<\/p>\n
During her victory speech, Hochul reflected on her leadership and thanked voters for their support.<\/p>\n
“Serving you has taught me that leadership isn’t about just having the courage to make the tough calls… it’s about the humility to go through it all and I answer to you, the people of New York!” Hochul said.<\/p>\n
The result ensures that, for the first time in state history, New York’s top two executive offices will both be held by women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phil Taitt has more on Gov.
