Working Families Party formally endorses Hochul and Adrienne Adams on its ballot line, seven months after its state committee passed her over in February; tally not disclosed

WFP state director Jasmine Gripper announced the endorsement Sept. 16 after a state committee vote; the party declined to give the tally. In February the committee chose a placeholder rather than endorse Hochul or then-LG Delgado (City & State reported Hochul drew 3% of the weighted vote, which WFP disputed). WFP leaders have said the delay gave them leverage on child care and immigration. Hochul will appear on both the Democratic and WFP lines; Blakeman holds the Republican and Conservative lines. Same day, Hochul defended the $1B POWER checks at a Flatbush YMCA stop: "I won't make New Yorkers wait for relief."
