New York Governor Kathy Hochul's campaign promises ring hollow as the state grapples with rising crime and economic hardship. Despite touting public safety and economic prosperity, Hochul's policies have failed to address the concerns of New Yorkers.
History credits Abraham Lincoln with saying, 'You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.' Kathy Hochul obviously agrees, so she has settled for trying to fool some of the people all the time. Nearly two years before she stands for re-election, New York ’s Democratic governor is already running hard.
To judge from her press releases, social media and public comments, Hochul wants voters to believe she will keep them safe from both crime and poverty. To underscore her pitch, she uses variations of her favorite catchphrases repeatedly: 'I promised to put money in your pockets,' she says over and over. And this one: 'Public safety is my top priority and I will do everything in my power to keep New Yorkers safe.' Joe Biden is using every trick in the book to wipe away the Big Stink from his tenure — but nothing is working Michael Goodwin: All of Team Joe aided in the Big Lie — now the world knows the truth of the Biden crime familyTalking is easy, but why not actually do something to make them happen? It is constantly taking more and more money out of people’s pockets. And far from feeling safe, most New Yorkers worry every day about sky-high crime and violence, especially on the subways. The big picture is that the state continues to fall further behind successful, dynamic states in both the cost and quality of life. It turns out that being America’s tax capital and treating perps and raving maniacs with kid gloves is not a formula for keeping residents happy. She acted as if crime wasn’t a big deal then, letting GOP opponent Lee Zeldin pound away on the topic day after day. Although Hochul ultimately prevailed, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scolded her for ignoring the crime problem, saying it helped the GOP flip enough seats in New York to turn the House red
