GOVERNOR CUOMO

Governor Andrew Cuomo served as the 56th Governor of New York State from 2011 until his resignation in 2021. In his role, he handled diverse responsibilities such as responding to emergencies and natural disasters, managing the budget, and making crucial decisions on state policy. With a law degree from Albany Law School, he began his professional career working as his father's campaign manager and was later appointed as the U.S. Secretary of housing and urban development. However, his tenure as governor was marred by controversies, culminating in allegations of sexual harassment, resulting in his resignation in August 2021.
