Letter From Governor Hochul

As we celebrate the incredible milestone of the 125th New York International Automobile Show, we are honored and deeply grateful to receive a warm letter of support from Governor Kathy Hochul.

Governor Hochul’s thoughtful words underscore what makes this event so special — not only to those of us in the automotive industry, but to the countless visitors, innovators, and families who attend year after year. Her recognition of the Auto Show as a symbol of the industry’s evolution and resilience speaks to the heart of what we do: showcasing the future of mobility while driving growth and opportunity across New York State.

This year, as always, the Auto Show brings together hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to witness the newest breakthroughs in automotive technology, design, and sustainability — many of which make their global debut right here in New York City. It’s a reminder that this show isn’t just about cars; it’s about what comes next.

On behalf of the New York International Auto Show and the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, we extend our sincere thanks to Governor Hochul for her kind message and steadfast support. With partners like her, the road ahead looks brighter than ever.

Here’s to the next 125 years of innovation, inspiration, and impact — right here in New York!
