Next New York lieutenant governor to be sworn in Wednesday
U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado will be sworn in Wednesday as New York’s next lieutenant governor, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.
Hochul said Monday she will issue a proclamation for a special election to fill her fellow Democrat’s seat in upstate New York once he resigns. It remains unclear when that will be.
Once a seat becomes vacant, the governor has 10 days to announce a special election held 70 to 80 days later, according to state law.
