Kathy Hochul on NYC Mayor’s Race: They Should Be Looking for Somebody Who Will Work with the Governor

EXCERPT:

HOCHUL: "They should be looking for somebody who will work with the governor. Now, that has not always been the practice, as you’ve seen historically. I worked with Bill De Blasio at the end of his term. I worked with Eric Adams. We don’t need the conflict that has historically defined the relationship, because you know who gets hurt when the governor and the mayor are fighting? The people of New York. I represent 8.3 million New York City residents as well. And that’s why I focused on public safety, paying for overtime on the overnight subway trains so people feel safer, $1 billion to build more housing. I’m going to keep doing this, but I need someone who’s not looking to be at war with the governor, who will actually be a partner. So that’s all I’m looking for. And I’ll work with anybody as long as they want to focus on the agenda that I’ve put forth, that is for New York City residents."
