Kathy Hochul

When Kathy Hochul ran for lieutenant governor in 2014, she told voters that her goal was "to change the culture" in Albany. She pledged to bring her business experience to the state Capitol and to work across party lines to get things done.

In her first term, Hochul made some progress on her promises.

She helped to pass a number of bipartisan bills, including a measure to increase the minimum wage and a law to make it easier for small businesses to get loans.

She also played a key role in the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to coordinate the distribution of vaccines and testing.

However, Hochul has also faced some criticism during her time in office.

Some Democrats have accused her of being too moderate, while some Republicans have criticized her for being too liberal.

Despite these criticisms, Hochul remains a popular figure in New York State.
A recent poll found that she has a 55% approval rating, which is higher than that of any other statewide elected official.
This suggests that New Yorkers are generally satisfied with the job she is doing.
Hochul is running for re-election in 2022.
She is facing a challenge from Republican candidate Lee Zeldin.
The election is expected to be close.
Hochul is considered to be the favorite, but Zeldin is a strong challenger.
The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on the future of New York State.

Hochul has a long history of public service.
She served as a town councilwoman and a county clerk before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2011.
She served in the House until her election as lieutenant governor in 2014.
Hochul is a graduate of the University of Buffalo and Syracuse University College of Law.

Hochul is a married mother of two children.
She is a Roman Catholic and a member of the Democratic Party.

She is a member of the National Organization for Women and the American Civil Liberties Union.
She has also been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.
