Update: Hochul Administration Appointments Continue In Albany

Since assuming office on August 24, Governor Kathy Hochul has continued assembling her team while focusing on the state's response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor has announced a number of Executive Chamber and Executive Agency appointments and departures, which we have compiled in the linked document, reflecting changes announced through October 25.

After taking the oath of office, Governor Hochul invited all current agency commissioners and personnel to remain in their positions and stated that over the ensuing 45 days (a period that ended on/around October 8), her administration would evaluate and make determinations as to any staff changes. As further appointments are made, we will continue to share updates with you. Should you have any questions, please reach out to any member of the Manatt team.
