DGA Statement on Governor Hochul's Selection of Adrienne Adams as Lieutenant Governor
Today, Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Meghan Meehan-Draper released the following statement on Governor Kathy Hochul's selection of former New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate:
"In Adrienne Adams, Governor Kathy Hochul has selected a Lieutenant Governor who shares her deep commitment to fighting for New York families and making life more affordable in the Empire State. As Donald Trump relentlessly attacks New York and Bruce Blakeman cheers him on, Governor Hochul and Adrienne Adams are the right leaders to defend New Yorkers' freedoms, communities, jobs, and businesses. The Democratic Governors Association is all in for this historic ticket and we couldn't be more confident that Governor Hochul will defeat MAGA acolyte Bruce Blakeman and win reelection."
