“It is a historic moment for New York as Kathy Hochul officially becomes the first woman governor of our state. Since I was elected, Governor Hochul has visited the North Country numerous times and I look forward to working with her to address the many issues North Country residents face including cell phone coverage, broadband availability and reopening the Canadian border. Now the legislature and the executive must work together in a collaborative way so that we can address the many issues facing our state.”
