Why New Era Democrats endorses Lee Zeldin — and much-needed change — for governor
NY Post ^ | September 5, 2022 7:00pm | John Orlando

You might be surprised to hear this from the president of a Democratic organization, but it’s true: At this moment, we need Rep. Lee Zeldin, Republican candidate for governor.

[cut]

Lee will work with Democrats, as he did in the state Senate, to provide reasonable solutions for our most pressing issues. Lee will investigate the COVID nursing-home failures so we are not doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

NED’s appeal to Democrats and independents is this: The race is about New York and its future, regardless of party affiliations and national politics. Public safety has been compromised, and New York has been mismanaged. Democratic governments were designed with checks and balances — and currently there are none in New York state.

The moderate voices of the Democratic Party are either going along to get along, too afraid to ruffle feathers, or have been silenced. We can no longer afford to be a one-issue voter. Lee will bring much-needed balance back to New York.

The issues are tangible: We see the vacant storefronts. We see the mentally ill/homeless on the streets with no hope. We feel the effects of the drug and opioid crisis destroying families. We are spending and borrowing more, and we are watching the value of our life savings decrease. We know the failed policies that killed thousands of elderly people in nursing homes.

We know, at this moment, we need a change — a balance of power and someone who will invite all parties to the table. That change is Lee Zeldin.

Somewhat off-topic, but every time I see "Lee Zeldin" my mind causes me to think "Led Zeppelin".

I figured I was hallucinating, but my wife told me she has the same effect.

Anybody else?

Mark Simone seems to think that Zeldin has a chance. I hope he’s right.

I hope this is legit, but my spidey sense is smelling astroturf.

This is politics astroturfing and just the reality of Zeldin coming from Congress and a foreign policy reputation as a Neocon which is a movement that transcends D and R.

New Era Democrats was founded after the 1982 gubernatorial race, when we supported Democratic candidate Mario Cuomo. At that moment, our founders believed New York needed to engage new voters and reinvigorate the electorate by supporting someone outside the party machine.

Cuomo outside thee the party machine?

Surely they are joking, right?

But, with Zeldin they are getting a Democrat assistant.

“a foreign policy reputation as a Neocon”

Well that warmonger better not invade CT (my state)—even if we do hurl insults at New Yorkers.

Sorry but he really can’t win. He would need 57% of the votes cast on election day to overcome the fraud factor. The Democrats will not cede power and will retain it by any means necessary.

If elected, Zeldin will have to contend with the state legis!ature, which is controlled by Democrats by approximately a two to one margin in both chambers.

They once got Rudy Giuliani. They could have picked his son Andrew. 🙂
