NYC Council Member Christopher Marte Advocates for Criminals While Chinatown Suffers from Crime

April 26, 2023 by Sam Antar

While NYC Council Member Christopher Marte (District 1) galivants around town attending parties and advocating on behalf of violent criminals, his constituents in Chinatown continue to suffer as major felonies increased 25% last week, 15.6% year-to-date, 68.7% over the level it was two-years ago, and 26.7% over the level it was 13-years ago. If the current year-to-date trend in crime continues, major felonies in Chinatown will number 1,331 in 2023, an amount of crime not seen since 2002, wiping out 21 years of progress fighting crime.

Christopher Marte is running for re-election this year (primary day June 27, general election November 7). After Marte’s top aide Steven Wong abused a female Chinese reporter, he refused to fire Wong, but public pressure forced Wong to resign from his post weeks later. Marte still has not returned any campaign money he received from a Chinese government spy operation based in Chinatown that kept tabs on Chinese people in living in NYC.

Christopher Marte wants to close Rikers Island but opposes building new jails. Instead, he wants to decarcerate violent criminals and let them live wherever they want. During an interview, Marte told the Tribeca Citizen, “I fully support closing Rikers and not building new jails.”

He supports Intro 632, a bill that will allow murderers, wife beaters, rapists, arsonists, stalkers, drug traffickers, people convicted of hate crimes against Asians, Blacks, Jews, Latinos, LGBTQ+, etc., and other violent criminals to live in the apartment next door to you, upon release from prison, no questions asked.
