NY Republicans in Congress call return to “law and order” in New York State
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) today applauds President Trump’s executive order ending cashless bail in Washington, D.C., restoring law and order to the Nation’s Capital, and calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to do the same in New York State.
“It’s a sad state of affairs when the President of the United States has to step in and do the job local officials should be doing to keep people safe. In New York, Governor Hochul and Albany Democrats have unleashed a wave of tragic and entirely preventable crimes. The supporters of these disastrous pro-criminal policies have blood on their hands.
“I strongly support President Trump’s Executive Order to restore law and order, and I urge Congressional leadership to act to codify it so we can end this madness in pro-criminal, anti-police states like New York. The radical Left’s obsession with coddling criminals has left a trail of victims whose lives will never be the same. New Yorkers deserve leaders who put the safety of law-abiding citizens ahead of violent offenders. Thankfully, President Trump is once again leading where Democrats have failed—bringing safety, accountability, and common sense back to our government.”
Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21), Chair of the House Republican Leadership, released the following statement:
“Kathy Hochul and NY Democrats failed bail reform has been a catastrophic disaster leading to a crime crisis in New York making every family and community less safe. Again and again, Kathy Hochul has prioritized violent criminals over law abiding New Yorkers. Enough is enough.
I strongly support President Trump’s Executive Order to end cashless bail. I will be working to lead the effort in Congress to codify this Executive Order with legislation.
For too long, New Yorkers have suffered violent crimes and even lost their lives due to Kathy Hochul and single party Democrat rule’s dangerous anti-police, pro-criminal policies. New Yorkers want law and order and tough on crime policies to bring safety back to our great state.”
