Human Rights Campaign Endorses Governor Kathy Hochul

NEW YORK – The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) today announced its endorsement of Governor Kathy Hochul’s campaign for a full term. The Human Rights Campaign organizes communities nationwide to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and build a world that realizes true equality.

Human Rights Campaign leadership praised Governor Hochul’s commitment to LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, and creating a more accepting, equitable state for all New Yorkers.

“During a time when basic human rights are under attack nationwide, I can promise you that New York will never be dragged backward — we will lead,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “It is an honor to receive this endorsement and to continue to work in partnership with the Human Rights Campaign to empower our LGBTQ+ communities, guarantee abortion rights in New York state, and fight for true liberty and justice for all.”

“As a U.S. Representative, Lieutenant Governor, and now Governor, Kathy Hochul has been an unwavering advocate and champion for equality,” said Human Rights Campaign Senior Vice President, Policy & Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof. “At a time where the LGBTQ+ community faces unprecedented attacks, Governor Hochul has fought to provide critical resources for gender non-conforming and non-binary New Yorkers. Thanks to Governor Hochul, New York – part of the bedrock of the modern LGBTQ+ movement – is at the forefront of LGBTQ+ equality. The Human Rights Campaign is proud to support her bid for reelection.”
