Folks, I delivered my annual State of the State address yesterday in front of the New York State Legislature. 

My message to New Yorkers is this:

Your family is my fight — and I will never stop fighting for the people of New York.

New Yorkers expect results, and that’s why I fight day in and day out to make New York safer and more affordable for you and your family. 

My 2025 State of the State is titled “Fighting for Your Family” because that’s what each of these initiatives strives for. I’m fighting to make New York more affordable with a middle-class tax cut, inflation refund checks, and a historic expansion of our child tax credit. And, I’m fighting to keep our families safe, improve our infrastructure, increase the housing supply, and so much more.

I’m excited by what’s ahead for our state. If you support our vision for New York, please pitch in a contribution to show you believe in our work to fight for our families and help fuel this important work.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I’ll be sharing more details soon about all of our policy initiatives — and if you’re eager to learn more, you can read more here.  

Thank you for your ongoing belief in our work. 

Ever upward,

Governor Kathy Hochul
