Some people just can't get the facts straight. Yes, I was downstate monitoring storm response for a few days, but Captain and I are a man and his dog. He is part of our family and that’s the way it will always be.

At midnight, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul will become governor. She is smart and competent, and I believe she will step up to the challenge. I wish her every success.

We didn't get everything done that we wanted to and we didn't always get it quite right.
But I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that every day, I worked my hardest. I gave it my all, and I tried my best, to deliver for you.

It has been a deep honor to serve as the 56th Governor of the State of New York.
From Marriage Equality to the $15 Minimum Wage, from Paid Family Leave to the NY SAFE Act, from investing in infrastructure to fighting COVID—together we have done what no one thought could be done.

Now that the FDA has fully approved the Pfizer vaccine, I call on all NYS employers to make the COVID vaccine mandatory for their employees.
The time for pleading & cajoling is over. The vaccines are safe, effective & free. Period.
Let's get it done, NY.

Many unvaccinated New Yorkers have been waiting for full FDA approval of a COVID vaccine.
Great news—that just happened.
For anyone who was waiting, today is a great day to get the FDA-approved Pfizer vaccine!

Remember: The path of a storm is NOT the same as the area of impact.
While #Henri's path has swung east toward Montauk Point, the affected area is still large.
Up to 5 inches of additional rainfall is expected, and flooding remains a serious risk.
Stay safe & exercise caution.

#Henri is currently a Category 1 hurricane—meaning sustained winds of about 80 mph.
It could also bring a storm surge of three to six feet.
Superstorm Sandy was also a Category 1 when it hit NY.
Take this seriously. Prepare for the worst—Hope for the best.

Downstate NY has many beautiful parks & beaches—but tomorrow isn't the time to go.
As Hurricane #Henri approaches, outdoor enthusiasts should use caution this weekend and strongly reconsider visiting State Parks & beaches on Long Island, in the lower Hudson Valley and in NYC.
