Hochul selects ex-NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as running mate [View all]
Former City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams is Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pick for lieutenant governor, NY1 has learned.
The choice creates New York’s first all-female ticket and if elected, Adams, a Democrat from Southeast Queens, would become the state’s first Black female lieutenant governor.
“As Donald Trump attacks this state relentlessly and Bruce Blakeman bends the knee before him, I need a fighter in my corner who’ll stand strong for New York families. Adrienne Adams is that fighter,” Hochul said in a statement obtained by NY1.
