New York Gov. Kathy Hochul became the first woman elected to lead the Empire State after she defeated Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin
, according to the Associated Press, in a closer-than-expected race that caught the attention of national Democrats.
While there are twice as many enrolled Democrats in the state as Republicans, polls showed the race tightening in October and Ms. Hochul’s margin of victory was less than 10%, according to the state Board of Elections. That marks the best showing by a GOP gubernatorial candidate since George Pataki secured the last Republican statewide win in 2002.
