Kathy Hochul to be 1st female NY governor after Cuomo leaves
As New York’s lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul has spent years on the road as the friendly face of the administration, visiting the far-flung coffee shops and factory floors of each of the state’s 62 counties for countless ribbon-cutting ceremonies and civic cheerleading events.
Now, with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation over sexual harassment allegations Tuesday, her next stop is the state Capitol in Albany.
Hochul will become the state’s first female governor once Cuomo’s resignation is effective in two weeks.
