Republican candidate for lieutenant governor Allison Esposito made a campaign stop in Midwood on Friday with members of the Caribbean community.

Gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin was not able to make it to the event. A staffer on his campaign told News 12 that it was due to traffic and a scheduling conflict.

News 12’s Mary-Lyn Buckley was there to hear Esposito’s law and order message.

Well, we are on storm watch this evening as we make our way towards the weekend storm watch team HOA joining us right now here in studio and hope earlier this week, very chilly temperatures. We all have to deal with that. Now it's warming up, but we're going to have some rain that's going to come with it. Yeah, we're dealing with some rain and don't forget, we also saw some festive flakes that we saw some. But here's what you need to know for this weekend. It is going to be a 5050 weekend. Sunday will be a day that we need to watch. We're talking about showers and storms moving into our area starting Sunday morning and lasting into Monday morning commute. So the worst of the storm will start pushing into our area after 10 p.m. on Sunday and even lingering through the overnight. Some potential impacts flooding and wind damage, especially with winds that can gust up to 40 to 50 MPH. Even isolate gusts of 60 isn't out of the question. So let's time it out on your future cast again today. A beautiful day tomorrow. Do it again. It is gonna be a chilly start temperatures in the mid to upper forties and we will see the sunshine throughout the day and temperatures will be milder in the mid ff. So if you have anything to do, maybe holiday shopping tomorrow will be your best bet. Sunday does start off with some clouds and even some on and off showers throughout the morning. It looks the brunt of the system will start pushing into our area by Sunday evening. But Sunday afternoon, still dealing with that steady rain and look at those temperatures, upper fifties, low sixties. So can't even really go outside to enjoy the milder temperatures because we're dealing with this. Just the rain and the pockets of heavier downpours that can move through our area overnight and into Monday morning. So even though that the showers are coming to an end by morning, we're still going to be dealing with some of its impacts in terms of standing water, especially for those areas that have poor drainage. This is around 830 Monday morning. The showers are coming to an end, but look at those temperatures from sixties to forties in just a matter of hours and it is going to remain chilly throughout next week. Now, we're also seeing 2 to 3 inches of rainfall with the highest gusts pushing into our area by sun.

Thanks for joining us tonight here on news 12 Brooklyn. Where local matters, I'm kurt Senator and I'm Amanda Bossard beginning things with vote 2022 coverage tonight as republicans continue to be out on the campaign trail throughout the day. Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. Allyson esposito making a stop in our borough in Midwood. That's right. She joined with members of the Caribbean community who came out to support tonight News told mary Lynn buckley joining us from Flatbush with more as this was supposed to be a little bit bigger, wasn't it, kurt, that's right. Republican candidate for governor Lee Zeldin, he actually was expected to show up today. A lot of people coming out thinking that he was going to be speaking. But staffer on his campaign told us that due to traffic in the last minute scheduling conflict, he wasn't able to make it. But we did hear from the candidate, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor. Allyson esposito. She actually has roots right here in Brooklyn. She shared with us and spoke to many people here in Brooklyn that she was once the commanding officer of the 70 precinct. And something she really wanted to emphasize was restoring law and order. She tells us that she's seen crime skyrocket during her time as an NYPD officer and she says part of the reason that she left law enforcement is because she wanted to work with lawmakers in Albany to make those serious changes, restoring law and order here in new york city is at the center of both Zeldin esposito's campaign. She made that very clear today We were standing on the fact that public safety and law and order and the crime epidemic right now is on new Yorkers minds. We were standing on the fact that new Yorkers are struggling to put food on their table and gas in their cars. The economy is on new Yorkers minds and some that came out today. We're disappointed that Zeldin was unable to make an appearance, but they do say he still has their support. Well, I'm little disappointed, but I do understand traffic in new york is a, you know what? It's really bad. It took them four hours to get here from Queens, I weren't told. And so that's a bit understandable. But it is still disappointing. Zelda's team says they're going to be out here in the city campaigning leading up to election day and many that came out today say they're excited to hit the polls next week. That's the latest right here. Reporting from flatbush and Mary Lynn Buckley News 12
