Katy Hochul

Katy Hochul is the 57th governor of New York, having ascended to the position in August 2021 after the resignation of Andrew Cuomo. As the first female governor of the state, Hochul has focused on issues such as public health, economic recovery, and social justice. She has been a strong advocate for progressive policies, including support for women's rights and immigration reform. Hochul was in the news recently due to a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice against New York regarding a law that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, which she supports.
