Dear Friend,
The latest polls are all saying the same thing: New Yorkers are fed up with the radical agenda brought to them by one-Party Democrat rule in Washington and New York and they are reading to make a huge change. High taxes, surging gas and energy prices, 40-year inflation highs, and huge increases in violent crime are creating a recipe for a Republican tsunami this November. Voters of all political affiliations know who is responsible and that’s why they are flocking to our common sense agenda in record numbers.
I’ve said it from Day One--this is our best chance to win back the governor’s office in the last 20 years, but we are finally starting to see it all materialize. This past week, nationally-renowned pollster John McLaughlin's latest poll shows our NYGOP gubernatorial designee Lee Zeldin in a statistical dead heat with Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul. We are working day and night to win this race, because to change New York, we must change governors.
That starts with putting a stop to the radical left’s agenda that is making us less safe. The dangerous pro-criminal, anti-police agenda has permeated our state government from the governor’s office to our university system. This week, we learned that SUNY Brockport invited two-time convicted cop-killer Anthony Bottom to give a paid speech on campus about diversity and his time as a “political prisoner.” This man wasn’t a political prisoner --he murdered two police officers in cold blood, shooting one 22 times as he was begging for his life to be spared for his young children. He’s never even bothered to apologize to the families of his victims. It’s bad enough that he was released from prison thanks to the Cuomo-Hochul parole board, but it’s unconscionable that he would be allowed to use our taxpayer-funded university system to spew his lies and dangerous rhetoric.
I held a press conference protesting this, joining the chorus of many New Yorkers, law enforcement organizations and elected officials who understand how insane this is, but what did Governor Hochul have to say about it? All she could muster was, “I’m not familiar with the details.”
Shameful. We need a governor who will stand up to this madness, not kowtow to it. We need to purge our state government from this dangerous ideology that is making all of us less safe. We need a state where safety and sanity come before criminals. That is the message we must spread across all of our communities from now until November.
Sincerely,
