Kathy Hochul cruised to the state Democratic Party’s designation for governor on Thursday, taking home enough votes from state committee members to prevent her opponents from getting an automatic spot on the June 28th primary ballot.
“Make no mistake, we are competitive,” she said. “We like a good fight. And that competitive spirit must be harnessed, but not against fellow Democrats – against the other side, the Republicans.” Hochul’s acceptance speech was preceded by an introductory speech by Clinton, who praised the governor’s work ethic and highlighted the historic nature of her candidacy for a full term.Here are five takeaways from the day’s festivities:For the first time in history, a major party committee has nominated a woman to run for New York governor.
“I see Democrats who are enlightened, emboldened and empowered to spread the message that New York is back and our party has never been stronger,” she said. The incumbent governor received 85.56% of the weighted vote of committee members, making her the party’s designee and firmly placing her on the primary ballot. But she likely won’t be alone.
