Constituent Reviews of Kathy Hochul
Kathy’s alright I guess 🤷♀️. She’s better than some but I feel like she’s not really pushing hard enough on big stuff like healthcare and education. I did like her focus on abortion rights though—she gets it 💯. But idk, sometimes it feels like she’s too caught up in the usual politics and not seeing what regular folks actually need. I’ll give her credit where it’s due for stepping up on women’s issues but I wish she’d do more for affordability in general. Mixed bag for me honestly.
So I see Kathy's been working on housing affordability and that's a big deal for a lot of folks. I gotta say I appreciate her focus there. Could still do more on small business support tho but overall not bad. Gonna give her a solid 4/5.
Kathy's been okay but not great for my priorities. She talks about helping the economy but I don’t see much action on taxes or supporting NY businesses. I appreciate that she's been transparent about her plans but honestly they don’t seem focused on what will drive real growth. I give her credit for being accessible to people and showing she cares but I need more than that. Responsiveness-wise she’s a bit slow to react to economic challenges especially with small businesses struggling. Could be
