Kathy Hochul vows to run for election next year and says mask mandates in schools likely
Source: Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
ALBANY - Incoming Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday she plans to run for a full four-year term next year as she succeeds disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo later this month.
Hochul also said in an NBC interview that she expects New York will have a mask mandate in schools this fall amid a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I believe they’ll end up being masks mandates. I just don’t have the authority at this moment," she said on NBC's TODAY show.
Hochul, the current lieutenant governor, spoke for the first time Wednesday after Cuomo announced his resignation would take effect Aug. 24 following a damning report by the Attorney General's Office found he sexually harassed 11 women, mainly those who worked for him.
