Bruce Blakeman told Newsmax’s Saturday Report he’s running for governor to put New Yorkers first and bluntly vowed, “I’m not going to let New York City go down the tubes,” promising to rein in the radical policies that have sent crime and chaos skyrocketing in the city. His message was plain and unapologetic: public safety and economic sanity must return to New York, and the suburbs won’t be sacrificed while Albany pursues woke experiments.
Just days after Rep. Elise Stefanik suspended her campaign, former President Donald Trump threw his weight behind Blakeman, calling him “MAGA all the way” and giving the Nassau County executive a powerful boost in the GOP fight for Albany. Stefanik’s exit reshapes the Republican field and hands momentum to a candidate who has actually governed, not just grandstanded, in a tough suburban county.
Voters should note that Blakeman isn’t a career politician who talks tough and does nothing — he pointed to hiring hundreds of new law enforcement officers and keeping taxes flat while improving Nassau County’s fiscal ratings as proof that conservative governance works. That record stands in stark contrast to Albany’s tax-happy proposals and the left’s soft-on-crime experiments that punish law-abiding citizens while coddling criminals.
Blakeman’s platform directly challenges Governor Kathy Hochul’s direction for the state, especially her tolerance of sanctuary policies and an agenda that prioritizes woke priorities over worker pocketbooks and public safety. He vowed to “put a check” on city leaders who refuse to enforce the law, a stance every sensible New Yorker should applaud as municipal radicalism spreads into the suburbs.
This race also exposes cracks inside the New York GOP establishment, where party leaders had leaned toward Stefanik even as grassroots conservatives called for a fighter with executive experience. The alliance between Blakeman and Trump changes the calculus for 2026 and sends a clear message: Republicans will nominate someone who can actually take the fight to Hochul and her allies in the Big Apple.
Conservative voters tired of empty promises should pay attention — Blakeman has both credibility on crime and a record on fiscal restraint, and now he has the kind of national backing that can break the Democratic stranglehold on Albany. If Republicans want to protect families, jobs, and property values, they need a governor who will defend law and order and refuse to bow to left-wing whims.
The choice ahead is simple: keep the same failed policies that drive New Yorkers out and let the city and state spiral, or back a proven, principled leader who will prioritize safety, common-sense budgets, and the American values that built this state. Bruce Blakeman is staking his campaign on that choice, and patriotic conservatives who care about the future of New York should be ready to rally behind a candidate who won’t stand by while the Empire State unravels.
