What is your top reason why you would NOT vote for Kathy Hochul in the 2026 New York Gubernatorial Election?

she is stupid

Phone Policy

No comment

She is an american hating communist.

Very high utility costs as well as tax rates and protecting illegal immigrants.

because she is retarded

She has made some unjust decisions

She’s hiding illegal immigrants in this country, she’s raising our energy bills. She banned phones in school, which is out against our liberty. She renamed, mother and father, to be gestating and non gestating parents

She replaced the name’s mother and father with just gestating or non-gestating parent. Energy taxes are high. She banned phones in school, which is restriction on liberty. She’s hiding illegal immigrants.

She has been firmly on the side of corporate interests which puts her firmly against poor and working class americans.

She isn’t a good mayor

Gun control laws

Terroristic treason committing tyrant

new york needs change

Many of the policies she has attempted to push, such as the phone ban, have had very little actual effect on the population.

She's screwed up NYS as worse than she screwed up Erie County when she was county executive there!! She's just trying to get reelected and to swade the liberals downstate and in the cities that have no idea what goes on upstate and outside of the cities.

Horrible use of tax dollars

I believe she has been silent on major issues such as transportation, crime, and immigration. My mother works for the Long Island Rail Road and is a member of the Transportation union and they recently went on strike and Kathy Hochul was seemingly silent and seemed to try to blame the strike and contract battle on the federal government and Donald Trump.

disagree with her view

Kathy Hochul makes bad policies for New York and leaves upstate in the wind. I chiefly have an issue with her electrical policies.

public education policies and woke agenda

She has values I do not agree with.

We need change and someone different

Democrat rule = moving backwards.

Taxes are too high and there's too much government spending.

She stayed too long

Her support for anyone to have abortions at any time

She’s not running the state good

She is letting illegals in, crime went up, energy prices went up, criminals are back on the streets, phone ban in schools

she sukes

Because she sucks

Her "No-phone policy" in schools has made my senior year feel restricted even though it is supposed to be the most free year of high school, so I refuse to vote for her and would rather vote a republican.

everything she does is terrible

Her policy's have ruined new York, the budget is horrible, and she cant pass a budget

She is a communist

bc she is not good and bruce is my boy.

She hasn't been holding up to New York citizen standards.

see if shes reliable

She's ruining New York with her policies and she is a spender

pluh

She is a corrupt politician. There has been an increase in corruption since she took office. She is removing voter id laws to increase the number of corrupt politicians (democrats and/or republicans). Note: not all democrats are corrupt. One of my favorite presidents, Jimmy Carter, is a democrat

Not a fan of what she's done to NYC.

because she raises taxes for tax payers and it just seems like she is completly against people who work for what they own

Too many taxes

Hasn't stood up to Mamdani

LIRR strike

Her polices have destroyed New York

taxing the rich

I don't align with her views

Incompetent

The phone ban was a poorly executed and unnecessary burden placed on the school when this should have been a matter taken care of by the parents.

I dont like him

She has not done much for the State and constantly fights with the NYC mayor. I believe that Blakeman knows what he is doing.

she messed up my senior year in high school lowkey

weird

The phone ban

she does not make sensible laws for the entirety of NY. she focuses on nonsense laws for the higher population areas that mean that way. there is no care for anyone outside the core voter group for her political party.

I do not think she is ready and has good ideas.

She is the devil and has done irreversible harm to New York

she rose our energy prices and banned phones in schools

She has absolutely destroyed NY. She’s worse than cuomo ever was.

She is giving citizenship to illegal immigrants and raising our electric bills and supports mamdani.

becuase i disagree with her poltics on crime cost of living

because Kathy is a women

shes crazy

Because she banned phones.

Honestly I don’t know who any of those people are

Too progressive

phone ban in high schools

because shes the problem

My top reason why i would not vote for kathy hochul is that some of her decision are not the best

I don't even know who these candidates are

she said people who vote for republican are anti american

She’s uneducated on issues that need to be focused on.

She doesn't talk about transgender athletes.

because she banned phones in schoools, when if students need them they cant use them.

phone ban

don't have reason

I disagree with many of her policies namely the congestion toll that was placed on commuters.

She doesntr have the best intrest of the people in ny in mind

She is crazy

This is because she is not one of my top choices for the election since she might not do enough or have the people's support for the country.

Reasons.

Working class individual who had experience in governor positions and has the best interest of all New Yorkers.

she is a weak leader

safe act, urbanization plans for long island2

Cost of living is too high in New York

I feel that she does not listen to the people and make life harder in New York for its citizens

She is the worst governor NY has ever had

I am extremely unhappy with how she has performed as governor.

I do not really know much about her.

crime and bail reform

I don’t think shes doing a good job

I am tired of her face

Too Gay not based or trad

Not much Improved just basically got worse

She is not strong enough against the rise of fascism in America.

She has been terrible for the state.

She's a fascist
