Governor Hochul Nominates New Secretary of State

Governor Hochul has nominated Walter Mosley to serve as New York’s Secretary of State. The previous secretary of state, Robert Rodriguez, has taken another statewide role as the head of the Dormitory Authority of New York. Mosley previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2013 to 2020, representing Central Brooklyn. While in the Assembly, he was co-chair of the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus’ Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Task Force on Cannabis. The State Senate will now need to confirm Mosley before he begins the position.
