Dec 01, 2021 1:33 pm

Nick Reisman reports for New York State of Politics that Assemblyperson Didi Barrett, who represents parts of Columbia and Dutchess counties, has chosen her favorite among the four Democrats so far that have announced they are running for governor. On Dec. 1 Barrett endorsed current Gov. Kathy Hochul over Attorney General Letitia James, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, and Congressperson Tom Suozzi in the Democratic primary election next year. "After just three months as governor, Kathy Hochul has completely reset the tone of New York State government, increasing transparency, collaboration and civility. She truly knows and values New York's diverse communities and rich history all across the state," Barrett said. "I am proud to endorse Governor Hochul for a full term and can't wait to see what we can get done working together.” Barrett announced her endorsement along with Assemblypersons John McDonald, Pat Fahy, Carrie Woerner, and Billy Jones. "I am honored to have earned the support and endorsements of these five distinguished members of the New York State Assembly," Hochul said. "Over the past several months, we've worked collaboratively to deliver meaningful results for working families throughout the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and North Country. I look forward to building on our progress to create an economy that gives every New Yorker the opportunity to thrive and succeed." Read more about this story at New York State of Politics.
