On Wednesday 1/5/2022, I delivered my first State of the State Address where I outlined a plan to create a New Era for New York by embarking on a bold, far-reaching policy agenda that advances our recovery and restores New Yorkers’ trust in government.
I have spent my lifetime in public service. I know the people, the places, and the challenges across New York, and I know the path we must take forward to lift up each and every New Yorker.
That’s why I proposed an ambitious agenda to:
Rebuild our healthcare and teacher workforces,
Provide tax relief to those who need it most,
Speed up economic growth and create good paying, middle-class jobs,
Strengthen our infrastructure and confront climate change,
Secure public safety and make housing more affordable,
Ensure every New Yorker has a roof over their heads,
And enact bold reforms for our State government.
My fellow New Yorkers: This agenda is for you. Every single initiative is filtered through the lens of how it will help you and your families. I encourage you to learn more about our over 220 proposals to help our state come back stronger than ever before.
Ever Upward,
Governor Kathy Hochul
