Self-ascribed “common-sense” Democrats, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi and former Councilmember Diana Reyna are gunning to potentially replace Gov. Kathy Hochul in this year’s gubernatorial and lieutenant governor’s races.
“I’m running for governor because I’m really concerned about our state,” said Suozzi. “I’m concerned about the rise in crime. I’m concerned about the lack of affordability; people are moving out of New York State.”
Suozzi was trained as a CPA, attorney, elected mayor of his hometown Glen Cove on Long Island, and in Congress, led the fight to restore the State and Local Tax Deduction, an issue concerning working families in high property taxed communities. He said he has a “proven track record” in all forms of government and knows how to manage from an executive office. His campaign is laser focused on crime, taxes, and affordability because they’re nonpartisan issues that affect all New Yorkers.
“Reducing crime and guns are enforcement but it is also long-term prevention. You have to do both,” said Suozzi. “Interestingly enough there is a common theme as you travel the state, rather than differences,” said Reyna. Reyna said that Hochul could have just waited for the primary and had a ‘fairly’ elected running mate instead of shoehorning in U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado to replace Benjamin ahead of the primaries.
