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.

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.

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

Only 37% of New York voters polled by Siena last week said they want to reelect Hochul, with a whopping 50% saying they want someone else.

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

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

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.
