The formidable campaign funding suggests Hochul has an advantage going into 2022. Donors include William Rudin, the CEO of Rudin Management Samuel Savarino, the head of Buffalo-based construction firm Savarino Companies and the International Union of Operating Engineers. She already has a strong mix of wealthy donors from a wide range of industries including those in real estate, labor and health care, according to state campaign finance records. Hochul as lieutenant governor has amassed a war chest of roughly $1.7 million, according to state campaign finance records. "No one who was named as doing anything unethical in the report will remain in my administration," Hochul said Wednesday. She also said she would oust any Cuomo staff or officials who were implicated in the report. Hochul said Wednesday she is ready to take the helm and vowed not to have the same "toxic" workplace that her predecessor allegedly had for his three terms. The governor announced his resignation following a bombshell report released by the New York State Attorney General's office that found he sexually harassed at least 11 women and oversaw a hostile working environment in his office. Hochul will succeed Cuomo in less than two weeks and will complete the last 15 months of his term. It's how I'm hardwired, and I'm looking forward to this challenge, and I won't let New Yorkers down," Hochul said in the interview. "I am confident that they'll see that I fight like hell every single day.
