NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- After months of mounting pressure and a drastic decline in popularity due to numerous scandals, this week, Andrew Cuomo formally resigned as the Governor of New York.
As he transitions out of office, all eyes have shifted to his successor: Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul.
Who is Kathy Hochul? That's the question at the heart of the latest episode of 1010 WINS' In Depth Podcast.
Although some local politicians and upstate citizens are familiar with her work, the whole country is interested in finding out who she really is and what she’s truly capable of.
In this episode, in addition to delving into the events that lead to Hochul’s rise, 1010 WINS reporter Al Jones speaks to two top women in New York’s political circle, NYS Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, and gauges their thoughts on her shattering the state’s glass ceiling and how they think she’ll do in office.
