The problem: The state of governor’s race seen by the lens of crime and different main points.
Whereas Lee Zeldin is drawing hundreds throughout together with his simple message to “Save Our State,” Gov. Kathy Hochul attends small venues that includes out-of-touch pols like Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Invoice Clinton and Joe Biden (“Kat & Bubba’s last-pitch effort,” Nov. 6).
New York state, together with a lot of its cities, is being lit up by crime, homelessness, drug dependancy and inflation.
So the stakes couldn’t be any increased or the variations any clearer. It’s Zeldin’s passionate five-alarm urgency vs. Hochul’s feckless complacency.
Vote like our lives rely upon it, certainly.

Crime knowledgeable Kathy Hochul claims she “hasn’t seen any information that reveals a correlation between crime and the bail legal guidelines.”
I assume she doesn’t learn The Publish or the NYPD arrest stories.
Not like some Democratic candidates, who're altering their pro-crime positions pre-election, Hochul truly tries to defend her pro-criminal coverage.
Lawyer Common Letitia James’ protection to being gentle on crime is that she “doesn’t need to criminalize and over-incarcerate poor folks and other people of coloration.” Ought to we focus on white people who stab, rape and push victims in entrance of trains?
James, like each different lawyer in New York, took an oath to uphold the Structure of america.
However as it's with each different Democratic official, politics trumps the Structure each time.

The 2 Democrats despatched to rescue Gov. Hochul appear to be an odd selection. Each are recognized for enjoying an integral function in adopting probably the most sweeping crime invoice in our nation’s historical past.
In 1994, President Invoice Clinton signed the Violent Crime Management and Legislation Enforcement Act (the brainchild of Sen. Joe Biden) and efficiently tackled the disaster. It confirmed authorities might deal with crime and defend law-abiding residents.
Alas, they aren't right here to dwell on that success. No, they’re right here to supply life assist to a hack who has no enterprise calling herself governor. Goodbye and good riddance, Kathy.

Resulting from Gov. Hochul’s double-digit lead over Lee Zeldin within the polls over the summer season, she had not deliberate on displaying her face to New York voters. As an alternative, she adopted the so-called “Rose Backyard” technique.
Quick ahead two months, and now we're handled to big-name Democrats stumping for her within the final hours earlier than Election Day. We see Hochul truly driving the subway (one cease) and shaking fingers with New Yorkers. All whereas providing nothing on how she is going to repair her personal errors on crime.
She wasn’t even going to hassle to essentially present her face till Election Day. And now we're speculated to take her severely? For disgrace.

New York’s unelected governor blathered on throughout a pre-election rally at Barnard School, extolling her effort to guard ladies’s rights, backed by her band of determined supporters: VP Harris, AG James and Sen. Clinton. Just a few hours earlier and several other miles away, a lady jogger was sexually assaulted and brutally crushed.
From the Keaira Bennefield tragedy in Buffalo to those assaults within the metropolis, there is no such thing as a assist of girls’s rights, solely their blood on Hochul’s fingers. New Yorkers ought to vote responsibly.

I learn, with surging disgust, concerning the feminine protester choked on the Hochul rally (“Hochul foe is choked at rally,” Nov. 7).
That is the form of factor Democrats mission onto Republicans, but they themselves are those reacting violently if somebody dares disagree with them.
The truth that nobody seems to have tried to assist this girl tells you all the things it's worthwhile to learn about Biden’s “pro-women” occasion.
