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.

Mamdani-Endorsed Races Poised for Tougher Showdowns After Moreno Victory

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsed candidate Diana Moreno won a Queens special election easily, but two upcoming Democratic primaries (NY-10 and NY-07) are expected to be far more competitive, testing how far Mamdani’s influence can carry candidates Brad Lander and Claire Valdez. He has been more involved with Valdez, while remaining cautious with Lander amid potential court-ordered redistricting that could reshuffle districts. The outcomes will gauge the political power of a progressive mayor as he balances governing New York City with campaign activity.
