Amid ongoing antisemitic attacks in New York and Democrat leadership failing to address it, Kathy Hochul among them, Jewish groups in the Empire State have unified in favor of Republican challenger Congressman Lee Zeldin.

The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce endorsed Rep. Lee Zeldin over Gov. Kathy Hochul in the race for governor, despite traditionally backing Democrats. The chamber endorsed Democrat Eric Adams’ mayoral bid last year and has also backed other Democrats including state Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, but this time out Hochul has lost their favor.

CEO of Duvi Honig told the New York Post that Hochul “failed” to make changes to the state’s bail laws and failed to reduce crime, adding that New York needs a governor who exhibits an “unwavering stand on violent crime.”
