NEW YORK — Rep. Lee Zeldin conceded to Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday afternoon, about 13 hours after The Associated Press called New York’s tighter-than-expected race for governor.
“I would like to congratulate New York Governor Kathy Hochul on her election to a full four-year term,” Zeldin said in a statement. “This race was a once-in-a-generation campaign, with a very close margin in the bluest of blue states.”
“Those controlling Albany should take note,” he added.
