ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Democrats are taking aim at Lee Zeldin following reports that election officials are probing whether the Republican’s gubernatorial campaign unlawfully coordinated with conservative super PACs.
The probe comes after Jay Jacobs, the head of the state Democratic Party, filed a complaint earlier this month arguing that Zeldin’s campaign broke election law by working too closely with the pair of deep-pocketed political action committees.
On Friday, Jacobs ripped the Republican’s campaign for potentially improper coordination with Safe Together New York and Save Our State, independent expenditure groups that have spent millions in support of Zeldin’s bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul.
