FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday, October 27, 2025

SARATOGA, N.Y. – House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:

“Last night, the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul was brutally booed and heckled by Commie Mamdani supporters who demanded that she ‘Tax the Rich!’

Less than 24 hours later, Kathy Hochul pathetically and falsely claimed she thought the angry Socialist supporters cheered ‘Let’s Go Bills,’ creating another embarrassing ‘Let’s go Brandon‘ moment for the Worst Governor in America.

Now as predicted, Kathy Hochul continues to earn her title as the Worst Governor in America when she flip flopped saying she will now consider raising taxes. New Yorkers already face the highest taxes in the nation and are being crushed by an affordability crisis from Kathy Hochul’s failed tax and spend policies and insane energy mandates.

It is crystal clear that Kathy Hochul is bending the knee to a jihadist terrorist sympathizer who needs the Governor to raise taxes so Commie Mamdani can turn New York City into a fully Socialist dystopia.

The Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul wants to raise taxes even higher while New York families struggle to afford to pay rent, buy gas and groceries, and pay for skyrocketing energy and utility bills.

This is just one of many reasons why New Yorkers will fire the Worst Governor in America to Save New York.”
