New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaking in Albany Monday.

A speech at a Buffalo church is now a headache for Governor Kathy Hochul. WAMC’s Andrew Waite and the New York Public News Network’s Jimmy Vielkind break down this story and all the recent political developments out of New York.

Andrew Waite is WAMC’s news director. His journalism career dates to 2009, when he was a cub reporter for community newspapers in Montana and Alaska. He has since worked as an editor at the inflight magazine for Seattle-based Alaska Airlines and as the featured news columnist for The Daily Gazette in Schenectady. Andrew has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Boston University, an MFA in creative writing from Pacific University and is a proud Albany High School graduate. He's honored to be back home helping to cover news in the Capital Region, where he lives with his wife, daughter and son.
