Kathy Hochul is New York's governor, replacing Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace. She faces numerous challenges, including rising Covid-19 cases.
A Buffalo native, Hochul served as Cuomo's lieutenant governor since 2015. But the pair were rarely seen together outside of campaign seasons. In her public comments after Cuomo announced he would step down, Hochul sought to stress her distance from the tainted executive as she prepared to take the reins and launch her own bid for reelection next year.
"Hochul has publicly acknowledged that additional layers of oversight might be necessary and, as of Tuesday, Delaware North will, according to a Hochul adviser, create a"firewall" that bars her husband from any involvement in state business, restricts his compensation from dealings with the state and puts a process in place to monitor his communications with the governor's office to assure compliance with the new rules.
