Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman accepted the Republican nomination for governor on Wednesday, Feb. 11, launching a bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul with a campaign centered on cutting taxes, rolling back congestion pricing and strengthening public safety laws.
Standing before supporters at the Garden City Hotel, Blakeman delivered a sharp critique of Hochul’s record, accusing her administration of driving up taxes and energy costs while failing to curb crime.
