Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is looking to emphasize an obvious theme important to voters in the 2024 election for the coming year: affordability.

The governor has already rolled out proposals for rebate checks and tax credits that will likely let voters know that their government is aware of rising prices. Hochul says the theme change is not due to President-elect Donald Trump‘s campaign, which mainly focused on rising inflation.
