SARATOGA, N.Y. – House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:

“Kathy Hochul’s catastrophic endorsement of the Defund the Police pro-Hamas Mayor has caused a MASSIVE walkout out of NYPD officers. 

Kathy Hochul and her endorsed Commie Mamdani are literally destroying New York. 

God Bless our hardworking NYPD officers. 

New Yorkers Back the Blue while Hochul backs the Defund the Police Mayor! A disgrace.”
