ICYMI: Hochul Says She’s “Not Focused on the Campaign” — That’s Just Not True

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent comments that she is not focused on campaigning is simply not true. Before she was even sworn in as interim Governor, she had named her top political advisors and weeks after that she announced that she had raised over $10 million. Even more egregious, Hochul attended 64 “private events” during her first 45 days in office resulting in her campaign reimbursing over $30,000 for political misuse of state aircraft.

A sample of Hochul’s campaign activities:

· Hochul hired two political strategies before hiring her own government staff

· Hochul attended 64 “private events” related to her gubernatorial campaign during her first 45 days in office, including donor meetings and fundraisers

· Hochul has raised $10M since filing to run for full term
