Kathy Hochul, Letitia James and Dems are to blame for NY’s crisis — it’s time to vote for change

New York voters concerned about their state’s direction should not be confused about who is to blame.

It is not Donald Trump.

Democrats have run New York state completely for more than a decade, and dominated it for longer — driving an accelerating decline, even as the Legislature’s progressive supermajorities now in the thrall of socialists want to double down on their high-tax, high-spend, high-debt, feed-the-special-interests-at-all-costs approach.

That rush has only grown worse on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s watch, as the state budget’s ballooned to $269 billion in 2026 — up over 40% in just five years.
