Benson Hay for 86th Streethomeless During the controversy, he also bluntly stated that “homelessness is a stupid business”, advocated that the money be used to build permanent housing, and promoted a bill to make the eviction process fair for both tenants and landlords.

Asked about the fact that the Republican Party is in the minority in the state legislature, Zheng Yongjia believes the key lies in the election of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman. By then, state budget negotiations will change from three people to five people, and Republicans will be able to participate in the negotiations.

17th District State Senator Chen Xueyi described his Democratic opponent as “without substance.” He emphasized that he has been a police officer for 27 years and a school volunteer for 13 years, and he is confident he can get along with everyone in the constituency. Regarding the fact that the city police union (PBA) did not endorse him, he said that four of the five police unions in the city police department endorsed him, and said that PBA President Patrick Hendry was “displeased” with him.

Regarding the issue of the 86th Street Homeless Shelter, Chen Xueliang said that he was the first to raise objections to the law. He explained that the site is located in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone, and the first floor can only be used as a parking lot. There are currently no construction and demolition permits. “My goal is to force the developer to lose money to the point that the project is no longer feasible.”

Jerry Chan, who is registered as a non-partisan voter and is challenging Zhuang Wenyi, also attended the rally that day. He said it just depends on how the candidates solve the problem and whether they are willing to cooperate between parties. He once asked Chen Xuelia’s opponent face to face what problems he wanted to solve and how he planned to do it, but the opponent couldn’t explain it.

Blackman, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, had a busy schedule that day and visited Chinese offices in Brooklyn and Flushing to solicit votes. In Flushing, Blackman said that during his visit, he heard that the issues people complained about most included safety, tax burden and high cost of living. He specifically noted that the most common request he heard in Flushing was to increase the number of police officers. He also advocates repeal of bail reform.

Blackman also visited Yangtze River Supermarket locally. He said high utility bills, heavy tax burdens and complex government regulations are making it difficult for small businesses to stay in business. When interviewed, the owner of Changjiang Supermarket said that the problem of theft in the store is a headache. He was robbed twice in just three days, and more than 300 yuan in cash was stolen in one of them. He agreed with Blackman’s security proposal and believed that with better security, the trading environment for traders would naturally improve.

The event was held in front of the Flushing Library at around 3 pm that day. Saritha Komatireddy, Republican candidate for New York State Attorney General, and Joseph Hernandez, Republican candidate for State Comptroller, were also present to support the election. Supporters present at the scene clapped from time to time and chanted Blackman’s name.

A day earlier, Blackman was also building momentum in Manhattan’s Chinatown, where he and other Republican candidates visited Chinatown businesses to hear residents’ opinions on community issues. He described Chinatown as having active economic activity and strong community cohesion, but residents face pressures such as rising living costs and public safety.

Speaking about the controversial Chinatown prison project, Blackman said that moving the prison from Riker’s Island to a residential community was a wrong decision. He said that if elected he would use the influence of the governor’s office to end the policy of building prisons in local communities and destroying communities.

Blackman also criticized Manhattan’s traffic congestion toll policy. He said that during his visit to Chinatown, merchants told him that traffic congestion tolls discourage customers from spending money and hurt business. He believes it is actually raising taxes on the middle class, causing people to pay extra to use roads that were originally funded by taxpayers. He also listed housing affordability, rising energy costs and environmental degradation on Canal St. as difficulties facing Chinatown residents.

Republican state attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy was also present, emphasizing public safety. He said Chinatown restaurants and businesses reported that street chaos and subway safety concerns not only affected customers and tourists, but also made some employees worried about the safety of traffic at night, which indirectly restricted restaurants’ business hours. He advocated that the state Attorney General’s office should focus more resources on fighting crime and fraud. Asian Tide Alliance Chairman Zhu Yating, Republican State Comptroller candidate Joseph Hernandez and Chen Huihua, Founding Chairman of the New York Homologous Association, also attended the meeting.

The Democratic Party camp is also actively building momentum on the eve of early voting. On the 23rd, Hochu and Mandani went to Greenpoint and Williamsburg in Brooklyn to contact voters, and emphasized cooperation between the two parties on reducing the cost of living and expanding child care services.
