Rose is trying to win back the 11th Congressional District seat he lost to Malliotakis in 2022. The race is shaping p to be one of the most competitive New York races this year.

Rose says that crime is a central issue for voters in New York.

"People are afraid at times to take the subway," Rose said.

"A weapon I carried in combat has no place in this country," Rose said.
