GOSHEN, NY – On Wednesday, April 24, 2024, Alison Esposito, a 25-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD), former candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Candidate for Congress in New York’s 18th Congressional District, joined Cop Talk on WABC Radio to discuss her race for Congress, the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border, radical politicians like Rep. Pat Ryan calling to defund the police, addressing mental health issues, MTA congestion pricing and turning New York back around.

On Rep. Pat Ryan and radical democrats who support groups that want to Defund the Police:
My opponent, Congressman Pat Ryan, he wants to take weapons AWAY from law enforcement. I’ll do everything I can to fight against that. I’ll do everything I can to fight for our Second Amendment rights, it’s ludicrous what is going on with radical politicians calling to defund the police…
When police officers are undermanned, it’s a danger not just to other cops, but to the whole community. Response times go up. You see it driving all around New York City. ‘Don’t call 911, if you have an accident, pull over and exchange information.’ We don’t have the ability to respond to these things anymore…we have to do everything we can to support law enforcement. Law enforcement will have a supporter in me, it is my first love.

On far-left District Attorney’s like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and failed pro-criminal policies like cashless bail reform:
Alvin Bragg has turned his back on New Yorkers, and not just cops. He’s turned his back on good, hardworking, everyday New Yorkers, that just want to travI saw firsthand, after bail reform went into effect, criminals and repeat offenders were being let out onto the streets…there is a fear now (in New York communities), there are problems that are going on making our communities less safe, and it’s a direct result of failed pro-criminal policies like bail reform.el from point A to point B without becoming the victim of assault.
