Fed up with a surge in shoplifting, a coalition of mostly Latino supermarket owners across the New York City area are raising $70,000 to back Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in the last days before the election, The Post has learned.
The group of 70 entrepreneurs — who operate supermarkets under banners including Foodtown, Keyfoods, Fine Fare, Bravo’s, C-Town and Met Foods — are donating $1,000 each to Zeldin at a fundraising event on Monday at Cafe Rubio in Corona, Queens.
The Long Island congressman’s promise to crack down on criminals who are looting grocery stores is resonating, said Nelson Eusebio, head of government relations for the National Supermarket Association, a trade group.
“These are Hispanic supermarket owners who have previously voted with the Democrats,” Eusebio told The Post. “But we are exhausted and need results.”
Top on the grocers’ wish list is holding shoplifters accountable for a rash of thefts, including reinstating bail for misdemeanors and felonies. New York passed a sweeping bail reform law in 2019 prohibiting cash bail for all but the most serious misdemeanors and felonies.

1- i live just outside of Mt Kisco, NY, which is full of illegals. Wife told me she saw several “Latinos for Zeldin” signs all over the town.
2- Just got back from a Zeldin rally in Westchester, NY. Lot of Hasidic Jews, black people and Asians on hand
All people want a crackdown on criminals and safe streets, except for leftist loons.
Obviously, we need more Democrat control!!
Except liberal white suburban women with Gender Studies degrees.
Yes, what’s going on? Don’t they know that they are supposed to vote Democrat because Republicans are racist/sexist, etc?
Don’t they know that as Latinos, they are supposed to hate Republicans because of illegal immigration issues???
You mean there are Latinos who don’t think the way liberals tell us that Latinos are supposed to think about these issues???
Illegals are voting Republican because Democrats offer nothing to anyone (except Ukraine). And I bet they also recognize the corruption of the D's, after seeing these same things happened in the countries they fled from.
Republicans should run some ads in Spanish.
Want prosperity? Want jobs? Want safe neighborhoods? Vote Republican.
These things appeal to everyone.
