Republican Committee Endorses Candidates for State Elections
The Crown Heights Republican Committee (CHRC) and community members endorses Bruce Blakeman for Governor, Saritha Komatireddy for Attorney General, and Joseph Hernandez for State Comptroller.

The Crown Heights Republican Committee (CHRC) and community members endorses Bruce Blakeman for Governor, Saritha Komatireddy for Attorney General, and Joseph Hernandez for State Comptroller.
These candidates share the CHRC’s priorities in combating antisemitism, protecting Jewish families and institutions, strengthening public safety, lowering taxes, reducing living costs, and supporting Crown Heights shuls and yeshivos.
Governor: Bruce Blakeman
Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Executive and candidate for Governor, supports affordability, public safety, tax relief, and parental rights. With Bruce Blakeman as Governor, Jewish families won’t have to second-guess whether New York will opt into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program, launching in 2027. His commitment will help expand scholarship opportunities for eligible families to afford tuition at yeshivas and Jewish day schools.
At a Crown Heights press conference, Blakeman pledged to oppose the proposed 1,081-unit ‘MEGA’ homeless shelter at 681 Clarkson Avenue, which has raised concerns about safety, services, and the project’s scale. He has also pledged to address antisemitism, support public safety, and stand with Jewish communities across New York.
The CHRC believes New York needs a governor who will prioritize families, private schools, educational choice. The committee remains concerned about the future of Kingsbrook Shul in Crown Heights and the congregants’ efforts to regain access to the community’s historic synagogue.
Attorney General: Saritha Komatireddy
Saritha Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor, has more than a decade of prosecution experience. Her campaign focuses on fighting crime, combating fraud, protecting vulnerable residents, and confronting antisemitism.
She has criticized current Attorney General Letitia James for prioritizing national legal battles over urgent concerns facing New Yorkers. Komatireddy has called for greater attention to crime victims, Medicaid and elder fraud, and protecting Jewish communities from hate crimes and violence.
State Comptroller: Joseph Hernandez
Joseph Hernandez, an entrepreneur, investor, and biotechnology leader, is campaigning on financial accountability, economic growth, and responsible government. He has pledged stronger oversight of state spending and efforts to identify waste and fraud.
The CHRC believes residents deserve transparency regarding public funding connected to the Clarkson Avenue ‘MEGA’ homeless shelter proposal and the Kingsbrook Shul controversial development. Hernandez supports greater fiscal discipline and stronger taxpayer protections.
Standing Up for Crown Heights
The CHRC supports candidates who fight antisemitism, protect Jewish families, safeguard shuls and yeshivos, strengthen public safety, lower taxes, expand educational opportunities, and make New York more affordable.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, let us stand united and make our voices heard for Crown Heights.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott criticized Democrat gubernatorial nominee Gina Hinojosa on Sunday over an endorsement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, accusing her of supporting Islamic extremism and Sharia law ahead of the November election, The Hill reported.
Abbott, a Republican seeking a fourth term, linked Hinojosa’s position on the endorsement to her vote against a 2023 Texas law concerning the state’s authority to designate certain organizations as foreign terrorist organizations.
“Gina supports that endorsement that she got from them because she supports Sharia law, she supports Sharia communities,” Abbott told Fox News. “What I’m focused on doing is making sure that we ban Sharia law, Sharia cities, Sharia compounds.”

Hinojosa’s vote against the legislation does not, by itself, establish that she supports Sharia law. Abbott’s accusations come as the candidates debate immigration, public spending, and the role of religious organizations in Texas.
Abbott’s campaign released an advertisement Sunday portraying Hinojosa as a threat to Texas and contrasting her positions with what the governor described as his record of “common-sense” leadership.
“Gina Hinojosa is too radical for Texas,” Abbott campaign communications director Catherine Frazier said in a statement. "She supports deadly open-border policies, higher taxes, and even wants to give illegal immigrants taxpayer-funded healthcare."
“Texans have a decision to make: the chaos that Gina Hinojosa would bring or the common-sense leadership of Governor Abbott,” Frazier added.
The dispute centers in part on Senate Bill 1900, which Abbott signed into law during the 2023 legislative session. The measure established a process for Texas to designate certain organizations as foreign terrorist organizations under state law.
Hinojosa, a Democrat member of the Texas House, voted against the measure during the 2023 legislative session.
CAIR has rejected efforts to characterize it as a terrorist organization.
