New York State Senators Endorse Governor Hochul’s Campaign for a Full Term

NEW YORK – Two additional members of the New York State Senate today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul’s campaign for a full term. The new endorsements add to a growing list of leaders across New York State backing the governor’s candidacy. 

“Since taking office, we have worked tirelessly alongside our legislative partners to put New York’s working families first,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “From strengthening the economy to making transformative investments in our communities, we are moving New York in the right direction to emerge from the pandemic more resilient than ever. I am proud to receive the support of these two tremendous leaders, and look forward to continuing our work together to move our state forward.”

Senator Pete Harckham, District 40

“Governor Hochul has earned the right to a full term. She has been true to her word, and in a short amount of time has become the transformative leader we need to address the opioid crisis and save the lives of New Yorkers living with substance use disorder. Her collaborative approach with the legislature is serving New York residents and businesses well, and her clear leadership through this latest round of the pandemic is decisive. I enthusiastically endorse her for a full term as our Governor.”

Senator Jeremy Cooney, District 56

“Kathy Hochul knows all of New York, and that includes her special love for Western New York. I’ve worked with Kathy as a member of Congress, lieutenant governor, and now as New York’s first woman governor. No matter her title, she leads with compassion, communication, and consensus building. This is exactly the type of governor we need to help us navigate the pandemic and grow a stronger, more unified New York State. I’m proud to call her my friend and partner in doing the work on behalf of the citizens in Rochester.”
