"Hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers and supporters rallied in Queens on Sunday for NYC mayoral candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the independent who has been vocal about standing with Israel and Jewish New Yorkers. Cuomo addressed the group, led by the Bukharian Action Council, at the Kew Gardens Hills Library on Vleigh Place on Oct. 26 to express his support for defending Jewish values and Israel. More than 300 people attended the event."

"This is an important election, the candidate said. First, the city itself. There is work that we need to do. There is an affordability crisis, and the real answer is to build more affordable housing, and I'm going to build 500,000 additional units. We need more public safety, and we have to hire 5,000 more police and put 1,500 in the subways. We have to send a different signal to business, and we have to say to the businesses, We want you to stay here.'"
