Multiple outlets have projected that Kathy Hochul has made history as the first woman to be elected governor of New York, winning a full term Tuesday night over GOP challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin, based on unofficial results from the state Board of Elections.
Hochul, the Democratic incumbent, defeated Zeldin – who represents much of Suffolk County in Congress. With 70% of the precincts reporting, Hochul has 55.77% of the vote over Zeldin’s 43.34% . During Hochul’s victory speech at her Election Night watch party – held at the catering venue Capitale in Chinatown – she spoke to how she’d like to move the state forward in her first full term.
“It is our state that will be that guiding light for our country in these desperate times. This country needs New York right now. protecting the rights of everyone looking at the most vulnerable amongst us the marginalized and neglected the forgotten the exploited and we will achieve all of this through love we know we faced threats from an extreme anti-democratic and divisive brand of politics growing across this country that seems to call that hard-earned rights put together,” said Delgado.
For much of the election cycle, Hochul refrained from holding campaign rallies, instead pursuing a so-called “Rose Garden strategy” of promoting her election bid by holding official government events where she announced new policies and funding allocations.
