The GOP legislator slams the grocery plan belonging to the government of the candidate of NYC

A republican of the room who had experience with his own family grocery chain criticizes the call of the candidate for the town hall of New York, Zohran Mamdani, to the markets belonging to the government.

“It will be a bullet to the heart of the American grocery industry, if that has made its way,” said representative Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, in Fox News Digital in an interview.

Mamdani, a self -proclaimed democratic socialist, has proposed a pilot program of five grocery stores belonging to the government – one in each arrondissement of New York – in order to reduce food insecurity in poorly served areas and reduce grocery costs.

But skeptics like Rulli note that grocery stores already operate on thin beneficiary margins of razors, generally between 1% and 3%.

His family owns and operates Rulli Brothers, a small chain of two grocery stores in the Youngstown region, Ohio.

“My brothers run this store, our family store … They went between (1.25%) and 1.7 net in the past five to six years,” said Rulli.

And while the pilot program Only calls for five stores now, the Ohio republican argued that the idea could affect large and small businesses if they were widened.

“Let’s say that you are going to Cleveland, Ohio. And the mayor opens ten stores managed by the government, half the cost of all other different stores,” said Rulli.

“Whether it’s a mother-and-point mum or … a kroger, or you can have a Harris Teeter, all these different players-all would be their parties, and you would only have the affairs managed by the government. So, once you would have business managed by the government, there is no incentive for there to be creativity, competition, variety.”

He said Costs could possibly increase In addition, if the competition has been silent. And Rulli argued that this would affect the Americans in the working class most with an affordable loss of variety, as well as small corner stores in New York, known by the “Bodegas”.

Rulli referred to a famous photo of the former Russian leader Boris Yeltsin, making an unexpected stop in a Texas grocery store in the United States and amazing by the selection of products.

“”You have the options on different size, amounts … There are so many different things. And you will have 15 or 20 types of varieties. This makes a good quality of life, “said Rulli.

Then, directed to Mamdani, he said: “Do you want to limit the quantity of things they could buy at the grocery store?

Mamdani is a 33 -year -old member of the New York State Assembly whose success in the New York Democratic primary was amazed at the politicians who expected at least an initially strong performance of the former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo.

His distant ideas on the left and his support for national democratic fires like the representatives Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., made Mamdani an effective Boogeyman for the Republicans.

Several Republicans of the Empire State told Fox News Digital last month that Mamdani winning the race in November could be politically beneficial for the GOP, although they also argued that they would work against this result.

Mamdani presents himself against the Republican Curtis Sliwa and the current mayor Eric Adams, a democrat who presents himself as an independent candidate in the race.

According to rumors, Cuomo also envisaged its own offer as a dismissal.

Fox News Digital contacted Mamdani’s campaign for an answer to Rulli.
