Kathy Hochul Biography

Kathy Hochul is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 27, 1958 in Buffalo, New York, United States. Kathleen Courtney Hochul (/”‘ h oU k@l HOH -kull August 27 1958) is an American politician who has been serving as the Lt. Governor in New York since 2015. Prior to that, she was the U.S. Representative for New York’s 26th congressional district between the 1st of June, 2011 until January 3 2013. She won the special election with four candidates on the 24th of May, 2011 for the position made vacant after the departure of Republican Chris Lee, and was the first Democrat to be elected to the district in the last 40 years.

Then, in May of 2003 Erie County Clerk David Swarts was appointed by Erie County Clerk David Swarts Hochul to serve as deputy. In the event that Swarts was removed from office in 2007 the governor Eliot Spitzer appointed Hochul to take over the position. While she was appointed by Spitzer and she was against Spitzer’s idea to allow illegal immigrants to obtain an driver’s license, without presenting the social security card. She stated that if the proposal were to be implemented she would contact the sheriff’s office to take the applicants before a judge for questioning. The election was later in 2007 to serve the remaining time of Swarts’s term. She ran for reelection using four lines of ballots: Democratic, Conservative, Independence and Working Families Party, defeating Republican Clifton Bergfeld in November 2010 by a majority of the votes.

Hochul expressed support for the 2010 health care reform legislation passed by the 111th Congress and said during her campaign that she would not vote to repeal it. In response to a constituent’s question during a town-hall meeting in February 2012, she was booed for saying that the federal government was not looking to the Constitution under the Obama administration requirement that non-religious employers provide their workers with insurance coverage for birth control. A spokesman later stated that she’d misspoken, but did not clarify her answer.

While campaigning for Congress, Hochul defined herself as an “independent Democrat”. In an interview with the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, she cited as examples of her independence her opposition to Spitzer’s drivers’ license program for illegal immigrants and her opposition to Governor David Paterson’s proposal in 2010 to raise revenue by requiring all vehicle owners to buy new license plates.

She got engaged in issues of local significance by being a champion of small- scale businesses that tried to counteract the effects on local businesses by promoting Walmart stores. She was elected one of the Democratic in 1994 and Conservative Party candidate to the Hamburg Town Board in November 1994. She was on the town’s board until 2007. While on the board she was a leader in efforts to eliminate toll booths from areas that comprise the New York State Thruway system.
