Meet Kathy Hochul, The Lieutenant Gov. Who Will Succeed Andrew Cuomo
by the New York State Attorney General’s Office, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul has once again taken a rare turn in the national spotlight as the first in line to succeed the embattled governor if he were to resign or be removed from office....
Hochul also spearheaded Cuomo’s “Enough is Enough” initiative, a campaign to combat sexual assault on colleges campuses. Hochul’s duties once the pandemic hit New York included acting as a local liaison across the state, meeting with officials in 62 counties and conducting local media interviews. Cuomo named Hochul as his choice for lieutenant governor while running for his second term in 2014, two years after she lost her bid for reelection to Congress, a seat she held for one term after becoming the first Democrat in 40 years to win the Republican-leaning 26th congressional district, but then lost following a redistricting.
Hochul, who had experience in local politics in Erie County, ran for Congress as a moderate"independent" Democrat and earned an endorsement from the National Rifle Association—making her a valuable asset to Cuomo in New York’s Republican-leaning counties.
