Statements From Governor Kathy Hochul

Governor Kathy Hochul New York State Seal

1 - “The anti-abortion extremists are at it again. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is still trying to target a New York doctor for prescribing legal medication used to provide an abortion.

“For the second time, Acting Ulster County Clerk Taylor Bruck has rejected Texas’ attempt to file a judgment against the doctor — citing New York’s shield laws and defending the freedom generations of women fought to secure. Attorney General Paxton should focus more on his own private life instead of dictating the personal decisions of women across America.

“Our response to their baseless claim is clear: no way in hell. New York won’t be bullied. And I’ll never back down from this fight.”



2 - “The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s continued assault on the Department of Education and every student, teacher and parent across the country.

“As Governor, I’m determined to ensure every New Yorker can access a quality, affordable education — and that every teacher has the support they need to help students succeed.

“This ruling pushes that promise further out of reach by opening the door to devastating layoffs, deeper funding cuts and worse outcomes for our kids.”
