WASHINGTON – Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) Executive Director Kevin Holst released the following statement congratulating Governor Kathy Hochul and Adrienne Adams on their victory in the New York Democratic primary:
“Tonight, New York voters put their confidence in Adrienne Adams to serve as the next Lt. Governor and to continue the progress made under Governor Kathy Hochul. In partnership with Governor Hochul, Adrienne Adams will work to deliver a safer, more affordable, and more resilient New York.
“Throughout her career in public service, Adrienne Adams has delivered real results for New Yorkers. As a City Council Speaker, she expanded affordable housing, strengthened NYCHA, invested in early childhood education, improved access to health care, and secured resources to keep streets and subways safe.
“As Donald Trump and his allies work to rip away health care, attack reproductive freedom, and drive up costs, the Trump-backed Blakeman-Hood ticket would bring that agenda straight to Albany. New York needs leaders who will fight back – and Adrienne and Governor Kathy Hochul are the champions who will. The DLGA is proud to back Adrienne Adams and the historic Hochul-Adams ticket as they advance to November and keep fighting for every New Yorker.”
