Gov. Kathy Hochul rarely engaged with challengers Jumaane Williams and Tom Suozzi, despite their criticism.

[l-r] Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Gov. Kathy Hochul spar in the final Democratic gubernatorial debate.[l-r] Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Gov. Kathy Hochul spar in the final Democratic gubernatorial debate.It was a little more than halfway through the final New York Democratic gubernatorial debate Thursday night, and Tom Suozzi was trying to get Gov. Kathy Hochul’s attention.

“I'm a proven executive who knows how to get things done in government,” he said. “I'm a common sense Democrat. I'm not going to pan to the left. I'm not going to back down to the right.” Hochul added, “I didn’t say they’re not coming back. I want them to come back. They may not be back five days a week, but we want them back three or four days.”

Suozzi in particular took a more aggressive tact with Hochul than with last week’s debate on WCBS-TV, again criticizing her for her prior support from the National Rifle Association when she represented western New York in Congress a decade ago.

She’s weak. How can she fight for the state when she can’t even fight these 2 clowns?

When either of them have something to say, maybe.

I think that could be a strength of Hochul's. She doesn't stop to deal with sidebars. She's focused, mature, and single-minded. That does not mean I agree with her centrist policies. She's driven and tough, though.

Judge Lina Hidalgo calls on Gov. Greg Abbott to address youth gun violence'If Gov. Abbott can call three special sessions to make it harder for people to vote, surely he can call a special session to keep our kids from being massacred in their schools,' Lina Hidalgo said. Maybe she should start keeping people safe by closing off the revolving door at her corrupt courthouse. What a hypocrite. Tell LinaHidalgoTX to clean up her own corrupt office and the increase in crime in Harris County she’s causing with her failed democratic policies. Absolutely 👍
