Hochul selects ex-NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as running mate
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.
