Kathy Hochul

Kathy Hochul is the current Governor of New York, having taken office after the resignation of Andrew Cuomo in 2021. She has been embroiled in several recent news stories due to her involvement with a machete-wielding incident at Grand Central station, an investigation into bribery allegations involving a councilmember and her aide, and her administration's efforts to address transportation issues such as congestion tolls and the Gateway rail tunnel project. Her proposals for robotaxi services and property tax raises have also sparked controversy. As Governor, Hochul is currently working to address issues related to guardianship and disability care in New York state.
