Upon learning of her father's death, Governor Hochul stated, 'My staff immediately said, We're making arrangements for you to head back home, and I said, No you're not, because I can't bring my father back. I will mourn him later. I am here to comfort a nation.' This shows her commitment to prioritize her duties over personal loss during a time of crisis.
Hochul remarked on a conversation with her father just before her trip, saying, 'He said something that was so quintessential crusty, old Irish Catholic guy... I'm so proud of you, but keep your goddamn head down.' This illustrates their close bond and his supportive yet cautious nature.
