Governor Kathy Hochul Visits New York State Fair

Although she has been many times before, Buffalo Native and Governor Kathy Hochul visited the New York State Fair for the first time as New York Governor. When asked about “What was it like coming to the fair for the first time as Governor Hochul,” Governor Hochul responded with: “It’s emotional I’ve come here many years as a mom with a daughter who used to ride horses when she was a little girl, so I’ve been here many times. But, I’m just humbled by the responsibilities that have been entrusted to me.”

Governor Kathy Hochul also unveiled a memorial to honor fallen highway workers at the New York State Fair. The memorial was to honor all transportation workers killed while performing their job duties on or near New York’s thousands of miles of highways, including State Department of Transportation and Thruway Authority employees, municipal highway workers, contractors, consultants, and towing service employees.
