New York Governor Kathy Hochul was sworn in for her first elected term, making history as the first woman elected to the position in the state. Hochul initially took over after former Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned amid scandal. Hochul defeated challenger Lee Zeldin, former Congressman from Suffolk County, in the closest gubernatorial election New York has seen in decades. The Democrat, launching her term as the 57th governor of New York, said her goals were to increase public safety and to make the state more affordable, two pillars of the Zeldin campaign. “Right now, there are some fights we have to take on,” Hochul said after taking the oath of office at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany. “First, we must and will make our streets safer.” Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado who is raising his family Jewish in line with his wife's ideals was also sworn in amongst other elected officials.
