These are additional primary or organizational statements from left-aligned activists, lawyers, and groups.
 
Francesca Hong (Wisconsin state representative and 2026 Democrat gubernatorial candidate) has made statements supporting the abolition of police and envisioning a world without prisons.


Key examples:


  • 2020 social media post: “I support defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.”(Documented in CNN’s KFile review and multiple outlets.)
  • 2021 post (after the Jacob Blake case): “Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can’t be an option.”
  • May 2026 campaign event (Taylor County Democrat Party): When asked about an “ideal world” for handling criminal offenders, she said: “I think that my perfect world would be a world without prisons, right, because we all see the humanity in one another and then we know nobody’s disposable.” Source coverage:https://bluewaterhealthyliving.com/...-speaks-about-an-ideal-world-without-prisons/(Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporting)

Leftist Abolitionist Calls to Defund Police and Prisons | Shared Grok Conversation​

 
Zohran Mamdani (New York City mayor, democrat socialist) has made statements questioning the purpose of prisons and advocating abolitionist-oriented positions, particularly earlier in his political career.

He has been more evasive or moderated in tone while running for and serving as mayor.


Key examples:


  • August 2020 interview (“The Far Left Show,” while running for State Assembly): When asked whether prisons were obsolete, Mamdani replied:“ I think that frankly – I mean – what purpose do they serve? I think that we have to ask ourselves that.” He continued by criticizing defenders of the “carceral state,” questioning how much harm prisons prevent versus create, and arguing for a justice system focused on repairing harm.

  • Past statements on police: He has described the NYPD as racist and a threat to public safety, called for major cuts (including reducing officers through attrition), and said in one session: “we really do not need reform, we need replacement. We need the abolition.” He previously supported “defund” approaches and aligned with “No New Jails” positions opposing new jail construction.
  • As mayor/candidate: He has been described as evasive when asked directly whether there should be prisons (“There are prisons”). He continues to push alternatives such as a Department of Community Safety (to handle more mental-health and non-criminal responses), closing Rikers Island, reducing reliance on incarceration, and limiting certain police functions.

Lefties of JPP; do you suppose the criminals your thought leaders and their elected/appointed minions release onto America's streets will leave you alone because you voted for the people that let them go free?

I don't expect an an honest or thoughtful answer, of course, because you are leftists.
