What They Said

“I was pretty neutral on Hochul when she started out but she has genuinely earned her re-election, ultimately fighting like hell for congestion pricing, partnering with Mayor Mamdani to expand childcare and coming around to being a real YIMBY champion and fighting to build more housing.” — Amanda Litman on Kathy Hochul, Amanda Litman

From Amanda Litman's newsletter, written after she voted early in the 2026 New York general election. She lists her reasons for voting, including Hochul's reelection race.
