#1 Nice to hear a candidate for public office mention a specific problem the public is concerned about and his specific plan for improving it as soon as he takes office.
Wouldn't it be nice if all the candidates for Congress were closely (and if necessary repeatedly) questioned on matters such as "What is your position on the current refusal of the DOJ to carry out the laws regarding harassment / threats against Supreme Court justices at their homes?" There are many other similar issues.

#2 This problem will exist until there are wholesale changes in the nations law schools.

What they say and what they do usually are 2 different things.

Remember Politics humoroulsy defined:

#5 pretty sure Zeldin is trustworthy on the 'fire DA Bragg' issue

another problem is the NY State law, although recently amended to allow judges considerable discretion in setting bail, is still criminal friendly with respect to bail - specifically it does not allow the degree of danger to be used in setting bail

#6 The current mayor is a Democrat who, while positioning himself as pro-police, was/is otherwise as about as Progressive a Democrat as his predecessor. Mr. Zeldin is a Republican. The question tjen becomes whether he is a Rudy Guilliano (or however he spells it) Republican or a Michael Bloomberg Republican.

Either way, he’ll be an improvement on the Democrat, whether Mr. Adams or someone else. We’ll see if this time New York City voters are insightful enough to push back against the Democratic Party machine.

#7 Zeldin is running for NY governor, not NYC mayor. As for Jilly-Annie, he has moved from pretty good mayor to pretty scary crackpot (yes, the media has helped with that, but Rudy sure has not helped himself in the other direction either.

Poll wise, Zeldin really has no practical chance of being elected governor, though he is on track to win the GOP primary handily.

#8 haven't see recent polls of a head to head race but Gov Hochul has approval rates that are actually lower than Biden's.

Hochul's appointed Lt Gov had to resign because of corruption and there is an active opposition candidate running agaisnt Hochul in the primary.

Alson hochul steered thru a $B or so subsidy for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills which infuriated the left.

#11 :-) I know others couldn’t be happy anywhere else, SteveS, including one or some here, but I’m glad Mr. Wife’s career took us out of state.
