'Prepared to lead.' New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is getting ready to take the reins of power after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he would resign from office. The Buffalo-area Democrat will become the state's first female governor in two weeks.
Hochul, 62, in two weeks will become the state’s first female governor, following a remarkable transition period in which Cuomo has said he will stay on and work to ease her into a job that he dominated over his three terms in office.that she was “prepared to lead.” Hochul planned to hold her first news conference Wednesday afternoon at the State Capitol, in the very room where Cuomo became a familiar face to people across the U.S.

Gov. Kathy Hochul will be an extraordinary governor,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, another upstate political veteran, told reporters at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. “She understands the complexities and needs of our state, having been both a congresswoman and having been lieutenant governor for the last several years.”or how he’ll manage handing over authority — something he rarely ceded during his time in office.
