Gov. Kathy Hochul leads a new poll of likely Democratic candidates for the state’s top seat ahead of next year’s primary and election season, and the vast majority of New Yorkers don’t want disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to run again.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said her number one goal in office is for New Yorkers to believe in their government again, after she took over as the first woman in the state’s highest office, following former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation due to a barrage of sexual harassment allegations.

New Yorkers awoke Tuesday morning to a new governor at the helm in Albany — the first female chief executive in state history.

Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed that her administration would be a fresh start and a turning of the page from the Cuomo administration when she becomes governor in 13 days.

In two weeks, the Empire State will have its first female governor in Kathy Hochul, the current lieutenant governor who will replace outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) visited the heart of the South Bronx on Thursday to build a coalition with conservative Hispanics in his campaign for governor.

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) clinched enough support from Republican leaders across New York State to emerge as the presumptive nominee in next year’s gubernatorial election, the state GOP announced Monday.

Republicans are trying to recruit U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), the congressman who represents the East End, to challenge Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who is up for re-election next year.

"This campaign demonstrates the rise of a new force in New York politics and in American politics. It’s a fearless force. It’s of Democrats who believe in all of us and are willing to fight for it."

The stage is now set for the gubernatorial race between Cuomo and Republican candidate, Rob Astorino, the Westchester County Executive.
