A coalition of mainly Latino supermarket owners in New York City are reportedly showing support for Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin after having endured rampant shoplifting.
The coalition is raising $70,000 to back Zeldin as the election swiftly approaches, the New York Post reported Monday.
Seventy entrepreneurs operating supermarkets including Foodtown, Fine Fare, and Met Foods, are reportedly giving $1,000 each to Zeldin during a fundraiser Monday in Queens, the outlet said.
The congressman has vowed to go hard against criminals who target grocers. It is a message that has not fallen on deaf ears, according to Nelson Eusebio, the leader of government relations for the National Supermarket Association.
“These are Hispanic supermarket owners who have previously voted with the Democrats,” he said during an interview with the outlet, adding they have become weary of the situation and wanted results.
