Governor Kathy Hochul officially announced she will appoint Harlem State Senator Brian Benjamin to be her number two as Lieutenant Governor at a rally in the uptown Manhattan neighborhood Thursday, Aug. 26.
“I am so delighted to announce my partner — and the word partner means something to me — we’ll work side by side in the trenches,” Hochul said outside the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building on 125th Street. “So I’m going to be out there championing our policies and our administration’s agenda in every corner of the state with a real focus on New York City.”
