The DOJ findings came from a probe into whether then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office engaged in a pattern or practice of sexual harassment and retaliation.
Hochul in a statement said that when she took office, she “took immediate action” to “root out the culture of harassment that had previously plagued the Executive Chamber and implement strong policies to promote a safe workplace for all employees.”
“I am pleased that the U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged the significance of those efforts, and look forward to partnering with them as we continue to build upon that success,” Hochul said.
