I thank each of them for their endorsement and tremendous partnership in moving New York forward.”

“I’m proud to enthusiastically endorse Kathy Hochul for governor. Governor Hochul has demonstrated to New Yorkers that she has the decency, passion, vision and common sense to govern our state effectively. Her no-nonsense, collaborative approach is just the change we need in Albany to ensure New York emerges from the pandemic stronger than ever.”
Senator Liz Krueger, District 28
“In the few months since Governor Hochul took office, there has been a sea change in the way government works in our state. For the first time in a long time we have a governor who knows how to work collaboratively, who listens to competing points of view, and who recognizes that government works best when everyone is participating. Kathy Hochul is just the kind of strong, smart woman we need to run our state, one who is making decisions based on cold, hard facts and the best interest of all New Yorkers. At this crucial time of challenge and opportunity for New York, I am proud to endorse Kathy Hochul for governor.”
Assemblymember Richard Gottfried, District 75
“Over the course of five decades in office and having worked with nine different governors, I know that Governor Kathy Hochul is the leader that New York needs during times like these. That’s why I am proud to endorse Kathy Hochul to remain as governor of New York State. During a crucial time in New York State’s history, Governor Hochul’s leadership on issues like housing, healthcare, and COVID-19 is exactly why New York State needs her to remain in office. Her vision for New York and the 75th Assembly District is needed at a time like this.”
Assemblymember Rebecca Seawright, District 76
“Governor Hochul has demonstrated that she is uniquely qualified to lead our state during these challenging times. She is rapidly and effectively building on her statewide, federal, and regional experience through excellent appointments, removal of a toxic work environment in the executive chamber, and a new era of cooperation with local elected officials to combat the pandemic and boost economic development. As the first woman governor in New York’s history, she is profoundly committed to equality, opportunity, and social justice.
“The true beneficiaries of her ascendancy to this vital position are the people of New York. For now, they are assured of excellent leadership from a governor who will fight for their best interests on every conceivable level.
“Governor Hochul has earned our trust and confidence. In return, she deserves our enthusiastic support as she seeks election by the people of our great state.”
