Hochul vows 'zero tolerance' in her administration once she becomes New York governor
CNN
New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who will make history as the female governor of New York, on Sunday vowed to uphold integrity in her administration after Andrew Cuomo resigned following the state attorney general's investigation that found he sexually harassed multiple women.
"It won't be difficult for me. Everyone who has known my career over 27 years of elected office knows that I have very high ethical standards and I will go in there and literally say, 'It is a whole new day.' Zero tolerance," Hochul told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "I'm going to be very firm in my expectations on how my administration conducts themselves throughout the entire work force but also I want people to know, particularly young women like I was once a young intern working in Buffalo in Democratic politics, I want them to know this is a place they're welcome." She continued, "They'll feel safe. They'll know their ideas are valued. So I don't think it is going to take a lot for that tone to change on day one, and I'm excited about that."More Related News
