This isn’t a campaign based on party politics: it’s about common sense and saving our state. The status quo doesn’t work. I’m a lifelong Democrat and I’m backing @leezeldin . Read my oped to see why.

Lee Zeldin will provide the leadership New York is missing from Kathy...

Our quality of life has significantly deteriorated under Gov. Kathy Hochul. Without a change this election, we’re going to get more of the same and our problems will spiral beyond anyone’s...
