New York, NY – James Merriman, Chief Executive Officer of the New York City Charter School Center, released the following statement to congratulate Governor Kathy Hochul on her historic victory in the 2022 midterm election:

“We congratulate Governor Kathy Hochul on her historic victory and look forward to supporting her efforts to lift the cap on charter schools – a key issue she supported on the campaign trail – and working together to ensure children in every neighborhood have access to great public education options.
