Governor Hochul wants New Yorkers to believe in government again on first day in office

Governor Kathy Hochul’s number one goal is for New Yorkers to believe in their government again, she said after taking over as the first woman in the state’s highest office, following former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation due to a barrage of sexual harassment allegations.

“I want people to believe in their government again, it’s important to me that people have faith,” said Hochul during her first press conference as Governor at the State Capitol in Albany Tuesday morning, Aug. 24.
