PBA Statement on Election Results

Pro-Police Candidates Claim House Seats, Strong Leads in State Senate

PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:

“While we wait for every valid ballot to be counted, it is already clear that New Yorkers have rejected the anti-police, anti-public safety extremism of the Democratic Party’s radical wing. They’ve had enough of putting criminals first and crime victims last. They are sick of seeing their police officers abused and undermined. Any Democrat who is disappointed in these results needs to face a hard truth: they won’t win back regular New Yorkers until they kick out the cop-haters and anarchists who have hijacked the party.”
