New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will deliver her 2025 State of the State address — her fourth as governor — on Tuesday, Jan. 14, her office announced Thursday.
Hochul will give the annual address at 1 p.m. at Hart Theater at the Egg in Albany, a departure from her past addresses in the traditional setting of the Assembly chamber in Albany, which she had called the “original and rightful setting." Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had moved them to the convention center at the Empire State Plaza, which allowed for more people to attend beyond the members of the Legislature.
The address outlines Hochul's priorities for the 2025 legislative session as she sets course for another run for governor in 2026.
The address is given annually at the beginning of the new state legislative session. State lawmakers are expected to return to Albany just before Hochul's address.
