Mayor Adams declared that ghost guns are one of the biggest threats to public safety. 🤣🤭😂

View this email in your browser   Good morning,   In a recent briefing to the press, Mayor Adams declared that ghost guns are one of the biggest threats to public safety. He claimed that illegal guns are “one of the most important rivers that feeds the sea of violence in our city and our country.”    George Santos, a congressional candidate for NY-3, sympathizes with everyday New Yorkers who know this is a half-hearted excuse from their elected officials. Santos has a common-sense approach to ending the violent crime crisis and is available to discuss his step-by-step plan.  Highlights: “How can Adams claim ‘ghost guns,’ or guns in general, are the problem? There was a reported 9138 assaults reported in NYC versus 76 shootings. Guns assembled from kits accounted for fewer than 10 percent of the 1,800-plus firearms recovered by cops in the five boroughs so far this year. The numbers don’t lie.”   “It is bail reform laws that do not allow judges to use their discretion in keeping suspects with lengthy rap sheets or violent pasts off the streets. These kinds of soft-on-crime policies are empowering people to commit crimes.”   “There is a demand for law enforcement if you’re truly listening to the people. New York had the largest annual and cumulative numeric population decline, decreasing by 319,020 (1.6%) and 365,336 (1.8%), respectively. have fled in the last 2 years. The truth is that not only has affordability become an issue in New York, but also safety. People now have a real concern about themselves and their families coming home safely.”   To speak with George please contact: Gabrielle Lipsky, Campaign Press Secretary Press@GeorgeforNY.com or (202) 607-2956   ABOUT GEORGE George is the next-generation Republican fighting to bring common-sense solutions to Congress with a focus on making life better for your family. Born in Jackson Heights, NY, George  Santos’ parents migrated from Brazil to the United States as young adults where they met, married, and started a family.   Having grown up in a variety of north Queens neighborhoods, George went to school in Astoria and Sunnyside. He began preparatory school but did not graduate due to his family’s financial difficulties, and obtained a GED his senior year. He attended Baruch College and NYU where he got degrees in finance and economics.  George has worked his way up through the finance industry, starting as an associate, and eventually becoming one of the youngest vice presidents in the industry. He has worked for companies such as Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Linkbridge Investors, and Met Global. He has worked within private equity in mergers & acquisitions, mezzanine debt capital, oil & gas, energy technology, health care, and biotech. He has received multiple awards and recognitions for his achievements in capital markets.  George developed a passion for helping those in need at an early age. Along with his family, he distributed meals to homeless individuals for nearly two decades and helped organize and finance an organization that helped children around the world meet their hygienic and medical needs, as well as a nonprofit that has rescued thousands of animals.   George's family embodies the American dream – where anyone can work hard, play by the rules, achieve success, and help others. Unfortunately, the opportunities once available to his family are becoming harder to achieve for the next generation.  It couldn’t be more clear:   Washington is broken – it’s broken because of career politicians. It’s time for a change, and for an outsider to bring a new generation of leadership.  Washington is out of touch with the needs of the people of New York’s third district. George wants to fight runaway inflation, and support freedom over more mandates. He wants to keep schools open and ensure parents know what their children are learning and have a say over their education. And he proudly supports America First policies that gave us the strongest economy in a generation and helped provide a path out of poverty for millions of American families.
