Governor Kathy Hochul didn’t rest on Election Day; the head of state woke up bright and early Tuesday greeting voters on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

The governor started her morning on 86th Street and Second Avenue alongside the likes of Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, outgoing Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright, and other local Democrats.

Hochul, who early voted, took selfies, shook hands and even offered hugs with a swarm of New Yorkers.

Hochul then made several pitstops at local businesses such as Gracie’s Diner on 300 East 86 St., where she met with both patrons and business owners. During her effort to sway last minute voters, the governor also shared her outlook on the race.
