- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday acknowledged that “there is a crime problem” in her state as the election looms less than a week away.
- Speaking on NY1 “Mornings On 1,” Hochul pointed to coordinated efforts by her and New York City Mayor Eric Adams to address mental health issues, tighten security on subways and get guns off the streets to further clamp down on crime.
- Hochul has ramped up her tough stance on lawlessness as the election nears, though her Republican opponent, Lee Zeldin, continues to blast her on New York crime rates.
