Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday responded to an attack from upstate Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who is mulling a potential gubernatorial run.

Citing New York's last-place ranking in state taxes, Rep. Elise Stefanik is teasing a run for New York governor in November 2026 — and she's already polling well.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday dismissed Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik’s possible 2026 gubernatorial run, boldly declaring: “Bring it on.” The Democratic governor was adamant she wasn’t worried about potentially facing off against the lawmaker — a day after Stefanik (R-NY) told The Post she believes she’s in the “strongest position” to take down Hochul and become the first Republican leader of Empire State in nearly 20 years.
