The countdown is on to Election Day, which is Tuesday.
Governor Kathy Hochul
and challenger Bruce Blakeman are both in the five boroughs today
with one more day to go of early voting before that ends tomorrow.
Fox 5's Kelly Kennedy is in the newsroom
with the latest from the campaign trail.
Well, Arthur, the clock is ticking and both candidates
are making the most of the last weekend before Election Day,
both the governor and Nassau County executive hitting the road today.
Governor Kathy Hochul making multiple stops on Long Island in Queens
and in Brooklyn, while her Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman took
his campaign to Queens. And with early voting ending tomorrow,
both sides are hoping to reach those undecided voters.

in East Flatbush, Brooklyn this afternoon.
Hochul touting her record on affordability,
including investments in child care and education,
while pushing for more housing to help bring down costs.
The other thing I'm laser focused on is building more housing here
in New York State and here in Brooklyn,
because the only way that rents will go down, where he lives
the possibility of home ownership, is if we build more supply.
Meanwhile, across the borough line in Queens,
her Republican challenger, Bruce Blakeman,
rallying his own supporters at Juniper Valley Park in Middle Village.

over New York's high cost of living.
We can't look our kids and grandkids in the eye and honestly say,
you're going to have a better life in New York than I did.
Unless we change the leadership of this state.
And while both candidates are working
to win over those voters still on the fence,
nearly half a million New Yorkers right here
in the city have already made their choice.
And remember, Sunday is the last day
to vote early ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.
In the newsroom, Kelly Kennedy.
Arthur, I'll send it back to you.
