Hochul vs Blakeman: Energy and Endorsements | Albany News

Governor Kathy Hochul is ramping up her gubernatorial campaign, securing major endorsements from Albany County officials who praise her economic investments and revitalization efforts, while aggressively framing her opponent Bruce Blakeman as a “Trump-style” candidate tied to failed policies. Blakeman, gaining Republican backing after a rival dropped out, is attacking Hochul’s green energy initiatives as unaffordable and pushing for natural gas, contrasting sharply with Hochul’s climate-focused agenda. As both candidates sharpen their messaging, the race is becoming a defining clash over New York’s future — one centered on economic growth, energy policy, and who best represents the state’s direction.
