What's Next for Kathy Hochul?



Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Kathy Hochul is back to civilian life, as her term in Congress expired Wednesday. One former deputy county executive-turned political strategist believes the sky is the limit for the now-former congresswoman.

"She's a very sharp, intelligent, likeable person," says Carl Calabrese. "In my experience in life, people who are sharp, intelligent and likeable tend to do well in whatever field they choose to get into."

Calabrese says she could go to where her passions are. 'If she decides to relocate, there are all kinds of think tanks that are always looking for executive directors," says Calabrese. "She could work either in nonprofit or business as a government affairs consultant. I could see that very easily with her."
Calabrese says a run for office down the road may not be out of the question either. "She ran a very good campaign in a district that was unfavorable to any Democrat anywhere in the nation," explains Calabrese. "If she does decide to run again, she'll want to evaluate which office to run for, and if that office is held by an incumbent what are her chances of winning, and I think that's a month away."

How about a private sector job? Try something that doesn't involve tax payers paying her salary, pension and benefits.

Mrs. Hocul's political career is not over
Kathy Hochul seems to be a very nice and intelligent person. She may have ran a "very good" campaign but it seemed very nasty and less than truthful to me. I wish she had taken the high road, but maybe you can't in todays politics. Goodluck to Congresswoman Hocul from one of those mean republicans.

Just a thought on Kathy Hocul
I wish her the best and I say this as a rock solid conservative. However I could never in a million years support her for any elected office due to her liberal affiliations. Still, I think she is hard working, sincere and does the best she can given the environment in which she has to work. And so, again, I wish her the best!

Hochul Future?
I am sure she will do fine because Calabrese is right - people who are likable, sharp and intelligent do tend to do very well. You can spot them as soon as you talk to them. Personally I didn't vote for her. I think we need more outsiders in public offices rather than people who are so connected to the political machine.
