Hochul taps Adrienne Adams to form New York’s first women-led major-party ticket
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul selected former City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her running mate, creating the state’s first major-party ticket led by women. Adams would be the first Black woman lieutenant governor and brings geographic balance to Hochul’s ticket while both women are moderate, running on a platform focused on public safety and lowering costs as Hochul seeks to solidify her incumbency after past lieutenant governor headaches.
