Amid tightening polls, Lee Zeldin dominated in New York’s only gubernatorial debate of the election.  Zeldin presented his plan to make neighborhoods safe and lower the cost of living while effectively prosecuting the Kathy Hochul/Andrew Cuomo legacy of corruption.

Zeldin: “Unfortunately, Kathy Hochul believes that the only crimes that are being committed are these crimes with guns. You’ve got people who are afraid of being pushed in front of oncoming subway cars, they’re being stabbed, beaten to death on the street with hammers. Go talk to the Asian-American community and how its impacted them with the loss of lives. Jewish people targeted with raw, violent antisemitism on our streets. It just happened yet again. We need to be talking about all of these other crimes, but instead Kathy Hochul is too busy patting herself on the back ‘job well done.’ No, actually right now there should be a special session. The state legislature should come back and they should overhaul cashless bail and these other pro-criminal laws with zero tolerance. But they’re saying ‘elect me.’ She says ‘elect me and then you’ll find out where maybe I stand on this issue in January.'”

Zeldin: “But, in Kathy Hochul’s New York, you can either have your first kid here in the basement of Mom and Dad’s house or you can move to some other state and buy your own home.”

Zeldin: “When you have a district attorney refusing to enforce the law, stand up. When you were asked about the Jose Alba case, I was in front of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office that day. You had a press conference, you were asked, you said it was a local decision, you’re not going to get involved in it. I said ‘Alvin Bragg should be removed.’ You said, ‘he just got there, cut him some slack, he’s doing his job.’ I say that we should overhaul cashless bail. You’re saying that there’s no data to support it, you have to elect me find out what my position on it might be in January.”
