BREAKING: Gov. Kathy Hochul has named Brian Benjamin's replacement as lieutenant governor. Here's what you should know about U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado.
Delgado has fought to provide relief for family farms, help small businesses rebuild and thrive, create clean energy jobs, increase access to broadband and support veterans, Hochul's office said, noting his proven ability to reach across the aisle to get things done.
Delgado was first elected to Congress in 2018. He serves as the Chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Commodity Exchanges, Energy, and Credit, and holds membership on the House Small Business and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees. Hochul made the announcement Tuesday as she looks to turn the page once again after her lieutenant governor pick -- made in an effort to restore trust in government following former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation -- imploded amid scandal.
It comes a day after legislative allies changed state law Monday in a way that gets Benjamin off the ballot in the primary election and lets Hochul campaign with Delgado. The New York state senate passed a bill that would allow for former Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin to be removed from the ballot — so what does that mean for Gov. Kathy Hochul's reelection efforts? NBC New York's Melissa Russo reports.
