Brooklyn, NY – Governor Kathy Hochul has once again proven why she’s earned the title of the worst governor in America: Her latest stunt—an illegal, unconstitutional scheme to re-reapportion New York’s congressional districts—is nothing more than a desperate bid to stay relevant in the national political spotlight, the New York State Conservative Party today charged.
“The State Constitution couldn’t be clearer: you can’t just rewrite congressional maps whenever it suits your political whims,” said New York State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar. “Governor Hochul knows this. But she’s betting she can shop her guaranteed losses through the lower courts until her hand-picked Court of Appeals gifts her the ruling she wants. It’s the very definition of corruption dressed up as governance.”
Gov. Hochul’s push to rejigger congressional lines follows her equally outrageous attempt to move over 4,000 elections statewide to even-numbered years—an obvious ploy to dilute voter power and tilt the field for her party.
“It’s the same tired playbook,” Mr. Kassar said. “When Mrs. Hochul can’t win the argument, she changes the rules. When she can’t change the rules, she changes the referees. It’s Tammany Hall politics with a modern, hapless twist.”
But even if Gov. Hochul could find a way around the Constitution, she faces another immovable obstacle Mr. Kassar noted: the law requires supermajority approval from both chambers of the Legislature. That means bipartisan agreement—a political reality that simply doesn’t exist.
The Governor’s deep unpopularity is no mystery. Her poll numbers have been consistently underwater, with unfavorable ratings between 53% and 58%. She’s now facing whispers of a primary challenge from within her own party—a remarkable indictment of her failed leadership.
“Ask a prison guard, a National Guard member, or any family watching their communities unravel under open-border policies, sanctuary state madness, while billions are wasted on benefits for illegal aliens,” Kassar said. “They’ll tell you exactly why she’s drowning in distrust.”

NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY:
GOV. HOCHUL’S HAPLESS GRAB FOR POWER HITS A WALL
