A local NBC affiliate issued a rare fact-check of Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul as she campaigns for the gubernatorial seat against Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) on Tuesday.
Zeldin, who himself was assaulted during a campaign stop earlier this year, has made addressing New York’s violent crime rate and tacking the state’s controversial bail-reform laws a priority. Zeldin said that if he’s elected, he'll declare an emergency over crime in the state.
