Kathy Hochul is the first female governor of New York. Before becoming governor, the Democrat was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2011 and became the Lieutenant Governor of New York in 2015.

Dozens of immigrants and advocates gathered outside of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Midtown office on Thursday, demanding that she push for the passage and enactment of the New York for All Act that would bar local and law enforcement and government agencies from collaborating with ICE.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state would spend another $77 million on police patrols in the subway, acknowledging that felony assaults remain stubbornly high.

The measure would give terminally ill adults who have less than six months to live an option to have a doctor prescribe them a lethal medication mixture.

Ridership on the New York City subway is on the way up while crime is on the way down, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday.

Faced with an affordability crisis and rising energy demands, Gov. Kathy Hochul has slowed progress on New York’s efforts to fight climate change.

Governor Hochul allocates over $23 million to the NextGen Buildings Innovation Challenges to support 24 clean energy projects in New York.

Kathy Hochul’s tortured decision to sign legislation that will allow some terminally ill New Yorkers to obtain life-ending medications caps a contentious, decade-long debate over the issue. But the governor’s move was blasted by the Catholic Church and even sparked blowback from aid-in-dying advocates due to additional restrictions Hochul insisted on adding to the law.
