NYC Mayoral Candidate Sparks Concerns

Republican State Senator Bill Weber has expressed serious concerns about the potential consequences of Zohran Mamdani's mayoral victory in New York City. He warns that a Mamdani win could lead to widespread chaos and unsafe conditions.

Public Safety Concerns

Senator Weber, whose family has a history in the NYPD, highlights Mamdani's past calls to defund the police, particularly concerning in light of recent mass shootings. He stresses the need for increased, not decreased, funding for the NYPD.

He points to the current unsafe situations in the city as a sign of things to come. The senator emphasizes the importance of continued financial support and resources for the NYPD.

Anti-Israel Stances and Community Concerns

Senator Weber also notes significant concerns among his Jewish constituents regarding Mamdani's history of anti-Israel positions. He mentions the worry of these constituents for family members who live and commute within the city.

Economic Concerns

Weber suggests that Mamdani's proposed policies, including government-run supermarkets, could severely damage New York City's economy and its contribution to the state's revenue. He warns of the potential negative impact on the city's tax base and the possibility of wealthy residents leaving for more tax-friendly states.

Call for Unity

Weber advocates for the other mayoral candidates to unite behind a single opponent to prevent Mamdani from winning through a split vote.

He believes a clear, unified opposition is crucial to counter Mamdani's campaign and prevent what he sees as a potentially devastating outcome for the city.
