John,
We find ourselves in a critical moment for the safety and well-being of New Yorkers.
Recent statistics, as reported by The New York Post, reveal that a disconcerting 41% of our fellow New Yorkers have never been more concerned about their safety.
The crime rates, including a 23% surge in car thefts this past June, have shaken our beloved state's security foundations. In response to the escalating insecurity, 40% of our fellow citizens have spent over $100 on personal safety measures, and a staggering 87% view crime as a critical issue.
