She defeated Republican congressman"Tonight you made your voices heard loud and clear. And, and you made me the first woman ever elected to be the governor of the state of New York. But I'm not here to make history, I'm here to make a difference," Hochul told supporters Tuesday night.
Hochul's formidable campaign fundraising allowed her to buy TV ads portraying herself as a defender of abortion rights and describing Zeldin as "extreme and dangerous" because of his ties to Trump and his vote against certifying the 2020 election results. as the party in power, which typically bears the brunt of voter frustrations.

Big deal! She is a disaster and useless! She really lost me when she said the crime in NY was all hype from social media. Another one who refuses to take responsibility! Admit it and fix it! Just another puppet Politician! Sick of them!
Sad for NY. They’ll get the same.
