Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2025, as German-American Heritage Month in the State of New York

Assembly Resolution 622 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2025 as German-American Heritage Month in New York State. The resolution highlights historical contributions of German-Americans to New York and the U.S., such as cultural traditions (e.g., Christmas trees, hot dogs), notable figures (like John Peter Zenger and Dwight Eisenhower), and their current demographic impact (11.1% of NY's population). It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic recognition of heritage. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on May 29, 2025, and will be transmitted to the Governor for consideration.
