"Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared together Tuesday at One Police Plaza to present a united front on public safety, touting historic reductions in shootings, murders, and subway crime, even as political divisions surfaced with their split endorsements in a key Democratic congressional race. Hochul officially endorsed Rep. Dan Goldman as he launched his reelection campaign for New York's 10th congressional district the morning of the press conference, following Mamdani's earlier endorsement of the incumbent's challenger, former city comptroller Brad Lander, last month."
"Speaking to reporters, Hochul described her working relationship with the new mayor in personal terms, saying, He's a nice guy, and I think what you talked about is what the people of the city of New York wanted. She reflected on a legacy of conflict between city and state leaders in prior administrations, noting that turf battles and ego clashes never made New Yorkers safer."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared together at One Police Plaza to emphasize public safety improvements, citing historic reductions in shootings, murders, and subway crime. The pair nevertheless showed political divisions by endorsing different candidates in a key Democratic congressional race: Hochul endorsed Rep. Dan Goldman while Mamdani had earlier backed Brad Lander. Hochul described a cordial working relationship with the new mayor and said prior turf battles between city and state leaders did not improve safety. She noted close communication between her teams and the mayor's office on city priorities and the upcoming budget, and called for coordination without public drama. Mamdani's affordability agenda will require Albany funding and cooperation.
