## Summary

Kathy Hochul said she managed campaign nerves by preparing carefully and choosing not to let anxiety take control, drawing on advice from her mother. After winning re-election as New York governor, she said she was back at work the following day and would spend part of Christmas working on legislative bills and the budget.

Hochul described travelling with clothes and shoes for campaign appearances, keeping detergent on hand and having her hair and make-up done daily. She said her reward for the campaign would be gathering her family for Christmas. A lifelong New Yorker and lawyer, Hochul is the state’s 57th governor and its first woman governor.
