See this photo? That’s me as a kid.

I never thought that I would run for office when I was a little girl — let alone become the first woman governor of New York.

When I was born, my parents had just moved out of a trailer and into a small apartment in Woodlawn, New York.

My dad worked long shifts at the steel mill. I watched my mother — who raised six kids — stretch every dollar by buying used clothes and serving fried spam sandwiches for dinner.

Witnessing the struggles and pain of those left behind inspired me to run for office, to be a voice for communities that had fallen on hard times, because I had lived that experience.

I refuse to sit back and watch as these same struggling families are abandoned by Donald Trump, Elise Stefanik, and their D.C. Republican allies. But Republican special interest donors have rushed my opponent, Elise Stefanik, $12 million to buy control of New York.

If I’m going to stand up to Trump’s enablers and defeat Elise Stefanik, I need grassroots supporters like you to have my back. Can I count on you to rush in $15? >>

My childhood inspired me to fight for New York families with everything I’ve got.

As Governor, I’ve…

…provided over $100 million in state funding for emergency food assistance
…distributed inflation refund checks for more than 8 million New Yorkers
…and delivered universal free school meals for every New York child

But as you’re reading this, Elise Stefanik is growing her massive $12 million warchest to take me down, turn New York red, and bring Trump’s agenda to our state. We can't let that happen.

So please: Will you chip in $15 to help me counter this fundraising blitz and keep Republican extremism out of New York? >>

Chip in $15 now >>

Chip in $25 now >>

Chip in $50 now >>

Chip in $100 now >>

Chip in another amount now >>

Ever upward,

Kathy

Before Kathy was born, her parents lived in a trailer by a steel plant near Buffalo.

Her dad spent long days working at the steel mill while he pursued an education. Her mom raised six kids at home.

Growing up, life wasn’t always easy for them — which is why Kathy has dedicated her life to fighting for families like hers.

Governor Hochul with her siblings

As Governor, Kathy has put money back in New Yorkers’ pockets, invested to keep New York’s streets and subways safe, delivered free school meals to ensure no child goes hungry — and stood up to Donald Trump’s attacks on New York families.

Now, as the Trump administration continues to attack New Yorkers’ rights, Kathy is fighting him tooth and nail. She’s taking on his administration — and winning.

No one — not Trump, not RFK Jr., not any D.C. Republican — will stand between Kathy and her work to protect every New Yorker.

But she can’t take on this fight alone — and she needs the support of folks like you to prove she has what it takes to continue her fight against Donald Trump and D.C. Republicans.

Will you rush in $15 to help Kathy’s campaign?
