ALBANY – Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul defeated Republican Bruce Blakeman to keep the state’s top job.

She first ascended to the post when as lieutenant governor, took over when disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo resigned.

State Attorney General Letitia James easily won re-election as did State comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. “The campaign is over but the work continues,” he said.

All three incumbents handily defeated their GOP opponents.
