Nine years of administrative neglect, red tape and delay. Nothing has been done.<\/p>\n<p>New York needs a governor to lead the statewide fight against crime \u2014\u00a0and 69% of New Yorkers say Hochul has failed on crime.<\/p>\n<p>More concerning, as a member of Congress, she earned an A rating from the National Rifle Association and took campaign contributions from the gun lobby.<\/p>\n<p>New York needs a proven executive who can tackle crime. As Nassau County executive, directing the 12th-largest police department in the country, I enhanced community policing, reformed police procedures and instituted smarter deployment of resources. Nassau County had its lowest crime rates in decades.<\/p>\n<p>While I am hoping these new laws will help prevent a future mass murder, New York\u2019s daily death toll will keep rising until we have a governor who makes crime his or her No. 1 priority.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tom Suozzi represents New York\u2019s Third Congressional District and is a Democratic candidate for New York governor.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
