Nassau County leaders unveiled a marketing campaign Friday to reel in New York City dwellers and businesses fearful of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani\u2019s incoming socialist regime<\/a>.<\/p>\n

County Executive Bruce Blakeman touted Nassau\u2019s top-notch schools and safe streets as he took a sledgehammer to Mamdani\u2019s \u201cvery troubling\u201d left-wing policies <\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, every community has a large group of people who are really concerned. I had someone call me up yesterday and ask me if I could recommend a real estate broker. They asked me about the schools, \u2018which are the best schools?\u2019\u201d Blakeman said at a press conference inside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve asked me about various communities \u2014 a lot of people from Brooklyn, a lot of people from Queens, a lot of people from the Bronx, and most importantly, a lot of people from Manhattan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican, who just trounced his Democratic opponent on the way to a second term, said business and religious leaders are also worried about Mamdani, as he accused the anti-Israel pol of being antisemitic.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the policies of Mamdani, as he\u2019s articulated, are very, very troubling,\u201d he said, standing alongside local business leaders and realtors.<\/p>\n

The former Hempstead town councilman, who is considering a run for governor, also rolled out the welcome mat to residents fed-up with their local governments across the region.<\/p>\n

He boasted about Nassau\u2019s various beaches and museums, and noted property values have only increased since he took office in 2022.<\/p>\n

The marketing campaign will launch in about two weeks, and Blakeman, 70, plans to target residents in other parts of the tri-state area that want a change of scenery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take this not only to New York City and the metropolitan area and the tri-state area, but we\u2019re going to take this campaign across the United States,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s meteoric rise has led to questions about whether the city could see an exodus<\/a>, especially from Jewish New Yorkers who find some of the 34-year-old Queens state lawmaker\u2019s past statements and current positions on Israel abhorrent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are welcoming anyone \u2014 Jewish, non-Jewish,\u201d Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip said Friday at the press conference that was six miles from the Queens border.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best county \u2014 the best place to live. We are welcoming everyone\u2026 we care about residents,\u201d the Republican added. \u201cWe work with our law enforcement. We have the best law enforcement in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Escape to Long Island.
