Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman urged Jewish New Yorkers to support him in the upcoming November elections. Blakeman posted a video on his X account giving a speech to the Jewish community in Forest Hills to mark the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attack in Israel. One of his priorities is stopping New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a vocal critic of Israel.
Blakeman, who is facing off against Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, told the Bukharian Jewish Congress he was the only choice for governor who’d stand up to Mamdani and fight antisemitism. “There is only one person that can stop Zohran Mamdani, and that is the governor of the state of New York,” he said.
