Team — On Sunday, after an incredibly close game and series, the New York Liberty won the WNBA Championship!

This is a historic moment in the Empire State — this is the first time the Liberty won a championship.

The incredibly talented athletes on the Liberty proved what we’ve known for a long time now: NEW YORK WOMEN LEAD!

When you give women a chance to succeed, we will carry the torch forward to a brighter future.

That’s why my administration is working hard to improve women’s healthcare access, paid family leave, maternal care, and more. We’ve invested in women-owned businesses and worked to close the wage gap.

I’m so proud of our New York Liberty — and in honor of their first championship win, I’m hoping you will pitch in $1 or more to support my work to make New York the best state to thrive as a woman, whether you’re a student, a business owner, a mother, a retiree, or a championship-winning athlete 💪

Onwards,

Governor Kathy Hochul
