Statement from NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy on Governor Kathy Hochul & LG Brian Benjamin’s Press Conference Announcing the Signing of the “Less is More” Act & the Release of Nearly 200 Criminals From Rikers

September 17, 2021

“Desperate to cling on to her newfound power and avoid a Democrat primary, Kathy Hochul has thrown all in with the radical left. Standing side by side with her ‘defund the police’ lieutenant governor, she just released nearly 200 criminals back onto our streets and made it easier for convicted criminals who violate their parole to stay out of jail. She’s been governor less than a month and she’s already made every single New Yorker less safe. The only way to stop this insanity is with the election of a Republican governor next year.”
