During the event, she outlined public safety initiatives to reduce domestic violence, gun violence, and retail theft as well as crackdown on illegal pot shops. She also committed to addressing the mental health crisis and strengthening the state’s healthcare system.
Other initiatives plan to increase the housing supply in New York City, improve education, promote green energy, and support agriculture.
She closed the address by welcoming New Yorkers to the future.
“If we as leaders fulfill our commitments and our promises, then this is the dawning of a new day. Welcome to our New York. Welcome to our future,” said Hochul.
