Post Editorial Board (nypost.com)
"In the race for Albany County District Attorney, The Post endorses incumbent DA David Soares as a voice of reason.
"Twenty years ago, Soares, then a Soros-backed progressive, ran for district attorney as a reformer denouncing the tough Rockefeller drug laws that established mandatory-minimum sentences for narcotics crimes.
"In office, he’s developed innovative alternatives to incarceration that have helped defendants while protecting public safety.
"Today, Soares has come under fire from progressives because he keeps telling the truth about how recent, ill-conceived “criminal justice reforms” (like no-bail and Raise the Age) are disasters for the larger community, especially poor and minority communities.
"Soares has repeatedly blasted Gov. Hochul and state lawmakers over their failure to fix the reforms, which he believes have “normalized” violence." . . .
