As we push for Zohran Mamdani to clarify his positions on crime, we shouldn’t let the other leading candidate off the hook: As Mayor Eric Adams’ allies note, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is effectively pretty much the same.

In a new ad, pro-Adams super PAC Empower NYC asks, “Who is helping criminals the most?” then lays out the two candidates’ records on public safety:

Cuomo packed the Parole Board with lefties who won’t stop springing cop killers; Mamdani wants to shut down Rikers.

Cuomo signed the 2019 no-bail law, and Mamdani called for dismantling the police.

The larger point: If law and order is a top concern, neither of these “reformers” is your man.

Mamdani’s over-the-top anti-cop rhetoric and absurd public-safety positions — cops shouldn’t respond to domestic violence calls! — have garnered plenty of attention.

But Cuomo pretends to be better when his actual decisions while in power unleashed a world of pain on New York.

He signed the Raise the Age bill that’s sending the rates of teen criminals and teen victims soaring.

And not only did he ink the no-bail law creating revolving-door “justice” for dangerous recidivists, he’s still stands by it, claiming it “righted a terrible wrong.”

Yes, Mamdani is for all this idiocy as a matter of principle, whereas Cuomo simply has no principles (except for his refusal to admit he ever made a mistake) — but Andrew’s proved completely willing to march to the same far-left drum.

That he’s not a true believer is cold comfort to the New Yorkers who have to live daily with the consequences of his pro-crime decisions.

Nor can they have the least faith he won’t sell them out again to serve his own personal political needs.

The final line of Empower NYC’s ad sums it up: “Cuomo and Mamdani have lots in common with each other,” but nothing in common with regular New Yorkers.

Their biggest similarity: Neither belongs in City Hall.
