New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul says she is staying in her current job, even though some have called for her to run for the Western New York Congressional seat that’s vacant, due to the resignation of Chris Collins.

Collins, a Republican, pleaded guilty to federal charges related to insider trading. Hochul, a Democrat, spoke with Capitol Correspondent Karen DeWitt.
