City comptroller, vying for position in crowded race, calls for more police in a reverse of prior position, limited anti-masking laws, online monitoring to combat antisemitism
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a progressive Jewish candidate for city mayor, laid out his plans for combating crime and antisemitism this week as the mayoral race formally began and he vies for position in a crowded field.
Lander’s 17-page proposal includes measures to combat hate crimes, which overwhelmingly target Jews in New York City. Lander discussed the details of his proposals in a Thursday interview with The Times of Israel, saying that countering antisemitism was a priority.
