PG: CC with New York Governor Kathy Hochul

In less than a year Governor Hochul has gone from Governor by default, after the abrupt resignation of Governor Andrew Cuomo, to leading gubernatorial candidate for New York’s November’s election. Born and bred in upper New York State, Governor Hochul is lawyer, a mother and lifetime public servant, Governor Hochul is also a tireless advocate for women’s rights and women in leadership. She stepped up to the plate when opportunity called, and she’s a big proponent of more women feeling the confidence to do the same. Governor Hochul makes the argument that Democrats must, and can, protect our majority in government and that we need to reach out to anyone who believes in democracy and the American experiment to fight for values that are currently under attack. Governor Hochul really seems to be the real deal. A leader who believes in listening, collaboration and learning from others. She’s also not afraid to get scrappy if the moment calls for it. As Governor Hochul said, “I’m hardwired to help other people, and I’m in a position to do something about it.” Shouldn’t we all have leaders who feel that same pull?  Twitter Governor Hochul: @KathyHochul Please RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue, and inspire change moving forward!   All my links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl   Thank you to today’s sponsors!   http://www.Stamps.com Promocode: politicsgirl http://www.BetterHelp.com/politicsgirl http://www.SunBasket.com/politicsgirl   The PoliticsGirl Podcast is a Meidas Touch original podcast produced by Happy Warrior Entertainment.   Source Notes: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/16/nyregion/kathy-hochul-governor.html https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/597745-hochul-cuomo-neck-and-neck-in-hypothetical-governor-primary-poll https://gothamist.com/news/lawmakers-look-to-halt-hochuls-penn-station-project-until-funding-questions-are-resolved https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-does-a-governor-do#what-are-the-responsibilities-of-a-governor https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/29/the-fifty-women-governors-499533 https://www.governor.ny.gov/about-governor-hochul https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/17/hillary-clinton-backs-hochul-00009922 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/17/nyregion/kathy-hochul-democratic-nomination.html https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2022/02/hochul-gets-democratic-party-endorsement-for-governor-fortifies-frontrunner-status.html
