Suozzi’s centrism

Moderates across the Empire State should be heartened by Rep. Tom Suozzi’s candidacy for governor of New York in the Democratic primary next June (“Suozzi in gov bid,” Nov 30).

Indeed, the former four-term Glen Cove mayor’s views align with my middle-of-the-road sensibilities. As a card-carrying

Keynesian centrist who teaches the dismal science — both macroeconomics and microeconomics — I am greatly in favor of sinewy infrastructure revitalization to boost aggregate demand and generate jobs.

As a registered independent who bleeds the stars and stripes, I abhor the left-wing extremism that ritually denigrates the United States of America — “the last best hope of Earth.” And as an Italian-American, I deplore the wholesale demonization of Christopher Columbus by the Biden-Harris-Hochul cabal of pandering revisionists.

Those public officials who genuflect to the false gods of far-left extremism for political gain must be held to account at the polls.
