‘I Will Declare a State of Emergency on Antisemitism,’ GOP Nominee for New York Attorney General Says
- On Friday, New York attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy pledged to declare a state of emergency on antisemitism in New York City on her first day in office if elected, vowing to personally prosecute hate crimes.
- Komatireddy emphasized public safety as the overriding issue in the race, citing New York City Police Department data showing anti-Jewish hate crimes account for over half of all such offenses despite Jews making up about 10% of the city's population.
- Criticizing Attorney General Letitia James for a 'revolving-door approach' to crime, Komatireddy cited Yogesh Sayrange, charged in July for arson attacks after being released without bail in two local criminal cases, as evidence broken bail laws endanger communities.
- Komatireddy also targeted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, stating his rhetoric regarding the Jewish state has been 'concerning' and that over the course of this year the mayor has 'dabbled in international politics and has called for unrest.'
- A poll released last week shows the Republican candidate within striking distance of James, with the race remaining competitive despite being a difficult election year for the party in New York.
