Hochul’s campaign, website omits very key detail — and critics say it’s no accident

Four more years — of something something. Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul has conspicuously avoided outlining a detailed agenda for what she wants to accomplish over the next four years if she’s reelected. Her campaign website lists her “accomplishments” or record during her first full four-year term, but it lists no policy agenda or vision for the next four. There are no specific policy proposals regarding taxes and spending, economic development, public safety, education or welfare programs. Incumbent Kathy Hochul is dodging questions on taxes as she runs for re-election without a detailed second-term policy agenda. Now, she’s even dodging questions on whether or not she supports tax hikes as she tries to walk a tightrope, trying to appeal to moderates while holding out the fiery liberal wing of the party. Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani remains popular, backed by a group of largely younger voters who lean left and are energized around an anti-capitalist message of taxing the rich. Hochul has allied with Mamdani, trying to harness the enthusiasm of his supporters despite signs they haven’t eased up on their tax crusade even after the governor handed Hizzoner a new pied-a-terre tax on luxury second homes in the five boroughs.

Here are 8 NYS lawmaker races to watch

Empire State voters heading to the polls on Tuesday will get the chance to pick their representatives in the New York State Legislature for the next two-year term — with several races to watch in the city and beyond. Every seat in the state Senate and Assembly are up for grabs this year, but in firmly blue New York State there’s no danger for the Democratic Party that either chamber of the legislature will fall out of its control. Still, there are races of interest across the state as voters cast ballots in all 63 Senate districts and 150 Assembly districts, including in southern Brooklyn which has trended red in a sea of blue in recent years. New Yorkers are voting on every seat in the state’s Senate and Assembly today.

Blakeman joins Queens Dem in accusing Hochul of going ‘wok’ with NYS gas stove ban

Hochul’s getting fried for going wok! Republican gubernatorial Bruce Blakeman joined a Queens Democrat who is blasting Gov. Kathy Hochul for her gas stove ban — saying it’ll take a bite out of Asian culture. City Councilman Phil Wong (D-Queens), who was born in Hong Kong, said he’d vote for the candidate “who is going to let me keep my wok” at a Saturday event hosted by the Juniper Civic Association that Blakeman also attended. Bruce Blakeman fried Gov. Kathy Hochul over her controversial gas stove ban. Bruce Blakeman / Instagram “If you move into a new building, you’re out of luck. No wok for you,” Wong said. “There’s not a single Asian family who said they can cook [stir-fry in a wok] with an electric stove top.” The gas ban — aimed at reducing carbon emissions — applies to new buildings up to seven stories tall this year, and taller buildings by 2029. The edict is on hold due to pending litigation.
