Which Mo do you know?
The Mo who posted “Defund Police Departments Everywhere”? Or the Mo smiling for photos with law enforcement now that he’s on the ballot?
He spent years calling to defund, abolish and cut the police. Now he’s running for Assembly, and he’s hoping you forget.
He even said he’s “all for armed revolution.”

What Albany’s climate mandates could cost you
A February 2026 memo from the state’s own energy authority, NYSERDA, estimated that if the climate law is left unchanged, upstate households heating with oil or gas could see more than $4,000 a year in added energy costs by 2031, and gas prices could rise by more than $2 a gallon.
Governor Hochul is now rethinking the timeline. Mo Brown ran with the backing of Albany’s climate-law champions. Ask him where he stands.
