State Democratic Party Chair Jay Jacobs is on very thin ice with hundreds of New York Democrats.
That’s at least according to a letter penned by scores of state and city lawmakers, as well as members of the state party, calling for Jacobs’ ouster after the Democrats suffered several key local losses in last week’s midterm elections.
The authors of the letter are taking Jacobs and the state Democratic Party as a whole to task, charging that they didn’t do nearly enough to help Democrats up and down the ticket, leading to the considerable losses in Washington and Albany. The dispatch was sent to Governor Kathy Hochul, urging her to remove Jacobs as chair if he doesn’t resign on his own.
