Brian Benjamin was officially sworn in as the state’s Lieutenant Governor Thursday, Sept. 9, promoting the uptown state Senator to the second-in-line to Governor Kathy Hochul.
“We have a lot on our plate,” said Hochul at the ceremony in her Manhattan office. “But I can’t do it alone, I need someone at my side… It’s an extraordinary responsibility, I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t think you were up for the task, and I know you are.”
