The New York state Republican party is releasing a new digital ad in a campaign appealing to New Yorkers of all political stripes to "restore safety and security on the streets of New York City."
Called "Save New York: A Call to Action, the one minute, 26-second spot shows news reports highlighting New York City's dramatic surge in crime and criticizes what it chracterizes as a growing anti-police sentiment sweeping the country.
“It was Republicans who took New York City from a criminal’s paradise to a global attraction for business, tourism and residency, and we’re prepared to do it again,” said NYGOP Chairman Nick Langworthy. “The policies of the radical left have destroyed all of that hard-fought progress and created version 2.0 of their disaster. We cannot give up on New York City--its success is essential to our state and our country--so we are launching a call to action to save it. We want people to know that we care about every New Yorker and we are offering an agenda that puts their safety and security as our number one priority.”
