NYGOP Chair Ed Cox issued a statement ahead of Governor Kathy Hochul’s upcoming State of the State address, criticizing the governor’s expected policy proposals and leadership.
“We’re about to see a wishlist of radical left-wing proposals from a Governor terrified of Zohran Mamdani and her party’s extremist base,” Cox said in his statement. He further commented on New York’s recent trends: “New York under Kathy Hochul and one-party Democrat rule has led the nation in outmigration as the least affordable, most taxed, least free state in America. New Yorkers want real, lasting solutions to this crisis and a Governor with the backbone to stand up for taxpayers and against socialist extremists like Zohran Mamdani.”
Cox referenced an alternative agenda put forward by Senate Republicans: “Senate Republicans yesterday presented those solutions in our ‘Save New York’ legislative agenda – and Bruce Blakeman will be a Governor who restores affordability, promotes public safety, lowers taxes and stands up to the radical left.”
Kathy Hochul has served as governor of New York since 2021. She is a member of the Democratic Party and is recognized as New York’s first female governor. More information about her background can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Hochul.
