For the first time in history, New Yorkers woke up this morning to a woman sitting in the Governor's chair. Kathy Hochul was sworn in at midnight as New York State Governor.
For 244 years, since 1777, there have been 57 Governors in the history of New York -- all men, until now. Some of her predecessors include Presidents Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, and Theodore & Franklin Roosevelt, plus other great historic figures like George & DeWitt Clinton, Charles Evan Hughes, Al Smith, Averill Harriman, and Nelson Rockefeller.
Good luck Madame Governor!
