NYS Gubernatorial Election

Kathy Hochul is the 57th and first woman governor of New York State. Born and raised in Western New York, she has been active with New York State even before becoming madam governor. Hochul began her career in public service on her local town board, serving her local community. She then moved on to serving as Erie County Clerk and later representing New York’s 26th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives to widen her support. She served as New York’s lieutenant governor from 2015 to 2021, where she chaired the statewide Regional Economic Development Councils and co-chaired the Heroin and Opioid Task Force, Women’s Suffrage Commission and Child Care Availability Task Force. Hochul became governor in August 2021 and was elected to her first full term in 2022. She and her husband, Bill Hochul, have two children and two grandchildren.

During her time as governor, Hochul has focused on issues including affordability, public safety, health care, child care and infrastructure, and has delivered. Her administration has highlighted investments in child care, housing and energy savings, as well as legislation concerning reproductive health, gun safety, online safety for children and the minimum wage. She has also helped with advancing transportation projects including the Interborough Express and Second Avenue Subway, to make New York state even more accessible to all. Now, Hochul is running for re-election because, even though she’s done so much these past 5 years, she is not yet finished serving all of New York.

Bruce Blakeman is a loving father, husband, public servant, and lifelong New Yorker born in Valley Stream, NY, who plans on putting the future of our state’s citizens first. Blakeman is a leader, pioneer, and trailblazer who has served New York since his time on the Nassau County Legislature in 1996. For 30 years, Blakeman has seen it all and led New York through countless crises, including the hardships of 9/11. Blakeman strongly advocates for Law Enforcement, affordability, and tax cuts, and will do anything in his power to push these policies at all costs. He will forever stand against Kathy Hochul, as the migrant crisis, costs of living, and many more will forever leave a scar in our state's history, which Blakeman plans to restore.

Blakeman has spent countless years studying in schools across the country, starting at home at Valley Stream Central High and eventually earning his law degree from California Western School of Law. Over the years, he has served in several key leadership roles, from Executive Director of the New York Police Chiefs Benevolent Association to Nassau County Executive from 2022 to the present. With a solid background in government and a strong focus on public safety and tax relief, Blakeman has built a proven track record of winning local executive office in suburban Nassau County.

Despite not being incumbent, Blakeman has still managed to amass and maintain a strong and positive image, being known to people all across the boroughs.

He has received many honors, including a civic leadership award in 2024. He was also Nassau County’s first Jewish executive and plans to continue supporting the Jewish communities and other religious communities as a deeply faithful and open governor. As a governor, he will continue the great impacts he has had and further push the ideas of safety and tax relief once elected.
