The 30-second advertisement highlights Joe Percoco, a top adviser convicted of corruption charges in March, and Alain Kaloyeros, the state’s nanotechnology czar, who was recently convicted of bid-rigging charges.
The probe into political donations from Crystal Run is also referenced, with the advertisement implying Andrew Cuomo himself is being targeted.
“Andrew Cuomo’s top advisers are going to jail for stealing your tax dollars…and now he’s under investigation again in another pay-to-play scandal,” says the narrator of the advertisement.
The Daily News, which first reported on the advertisement, also broke the news that the Cuomo campaign is pushing back against the Crystal Run reference in the advertisement.

The Times-Herald Record article cited his work!), “Cuomo under fire over Crystal Run donations,” doesn’t specifically say the governor is the subject of the ongoing federal investigation.

Cuomo campaign spokeswoman Abbey Collins confirmed tthat a cease and desist letter had been issued in response to the advertisement. “It is false, cheap, and nasty — it is exactly what you would expect from Trump mini-me Marc Molinaro,” Collins said about the advertisement in a statement.
Molinaro has made combating corruption a top priority for 2019. He crafted an accountability plan, which includes term limits and closing the LLC loophole.
“It’s time for a change,” declares the advertisement. “Marc Molinaro has a real plan to fix New York and end Cuomo’s corruption for good.”
