Renowned crime victims’ advocate and creator of “America’s Most Wanted,” John Walsh, is urging voters in the Syracuse region to support the re-election of Republican Rep. Brandon Williams in a new TV ad. In the ad, Walsh criticizes Democrats Kathy Hochul and John Mannion for supporting cashless bail and defunding the police, which he believes is putting communities at risk by releasing violent criminals onto the streets. Walsh, who tragically lost his son Adam in 1981 to a violent crime, is passionate about keeping America’s Most Wanted criminals behind bars.
Originally from the 22nd congressional district in New York, Walsh has joined forces with Williams, who is a former Navy officer and farmer, to push for a law and order platform in their community. Williams’ opponent, John Mannion, has garnered support from various labor unions, but with Walsh’s endorsement and the importance of this race in determining the balance of power in Congress, Williams’ campaign is gaining momentum.
Walsh’s involvement in this race comes at a time when he sees a rise in crime, particularly in upstate New York, which he believes is a direct result of lenient policies like no bail for criminals. He also expressed disdain for incidents where individuals attacked law enforcement officers and faced minimal consequences. With a shared commitment to public safety and community well-being, Walsh and Williams are advocating for stricter policies to protect families and communities.
The Williams-Mannion race is considered one of the most hotly contested congressional campaigns in New York, and Walsh’s support for Williams could tip the scales in favor of the Republican candidate. Walsh’s message is clear – for a safer and more secure community, voters should choose candidates like Williams who prioritize law and order.
