What are you going to do? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>REP. LEE ZELDIN (R-NY), NY GOVERNOR CANDIDATE: You know, listen, I want to do everything I possibly can in the first 100 minutes. I mean, I want to have a very active day one. I just announced a couple days ago that as soon as I am sworn into office, I\u2019m going to be declaring a crime emergency here in the state of New York. I\u2019m going to suspend New York\u2019s cashless bail laws and some other pro-criminal laws that have been passed, force the legislature to come to the table to negotiate an improvement because we have to take back our streets. We need law abiding New Yorkers back in control of New York streets instead of criminals. And there are people who are in charge right now from Kathy Hogle to these Democrats controlling the state legislature who feel like they haven\u2019t passed enough pro-criminal laws. So this is an action on day one. I\u2019ve previously announced that my first action, my first day that I\u2019m in office, is telling them the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that he\u2019s being removed for his refusal to enforce the law. But it doesn\u2019t stop there. We need to support our men and women in law enforcement, we need to make sure whether it\u2019s cashless bail, less is more, raise the age, hall tax, some of these other names of laws that have passed, which don\u2019t get as much attention are resulting in people getting hurt, law abiding New Yorkers getting hurt. So I\u2019m pretty motivated to do everything in my power in the first one 100 minutes to take back the state. And listen, there\u2019s gonna be opportunities beyond that, but we\u2019re gonna have a very aggressive day one so the New Yorkers know that we\u2019re wasting no time to restore the state to glory.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
