Hochul Chooses Antonio Delgado as New Lieutenant Governor
Mr. Delgado is also expected to serve as Gov. Kathy Hochul’s running mate this year, replacing former Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin.

Gov. Kathy Hochul selected Representative Antonio Delgado as her new lieutenant governor on Tuesday, elevating a fellow moderate from outside New York City to be her second-in-command and running mate in June’s Democratic primary.
Mr. Delgado will take the oath of office in the coming weeks, replacing former Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, who resigned last month in the face of federal public corruption charges. A special state committee also moved swiftly Tuesday morning to add his name to the primary ballot as the favored Democratic candidate in place of Mr. Benjamin.
The swift selection comes as Ms. Hochul and her allies undertake remarkable steps to try to stabilize her young administration from the aftershocks of Mr. Benjamin’s arrest, and reset her campaign less than two months before she will face primary voters.
It comes just one day after state lawmakers passed legislation, pushed by Ms. Hochul at considerable political cost, to allow Mr. Benjamin to be removed from the state Democratic primary ballot and replaced with another candidate. Republicans, and even some members of Ms. Hochul’s own party, decried the legal change as underhanded.
Mr. Delgado, 45, who has represented the central Hudson Valley in Congress since 2019, has proved he can win hotly contested elections and raise large sums of money. A Black rising political star, he will also help Ms. Hochul diversify her ticket.
Like Ms. Hochul, he does not hail from New York City, where much of the Democratic primary electorate resides, and he has assembled a record as a political moderate

Corruption Charges Dismissed Against Ex-Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin
Dec 5, 2022A federal judge in Manhattan dismissed bribery and corruption charges against former Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin of New York on Monday, saying prosecutors had failed to demonstrate an explicit quid pro quo in what they had asserted was a scheme to funnel $50,000 in state money to a developer in exchange for campaign contributions.
“The court concludes that the indictment fails to allege an explicit quid pro quo, which is an essential element of the bribery and honest services wire fraud charges brought against Benjamin,” the judge, J. Paul Oetken of Federal District Court, ruled.
He said he would toss out the three corruption counts that prompted Mr. Benjamin, a Democrat, to resign from office when they were announced in April. But Mr. Benjamin still faces trial on two other counts — charges that he falsified records, including a vetting questionnaire related to his appointment as lieutenant governor — that the judge allowed to stand.
