A newly created political action group has vowed to inject millions of dollars into the New York gubernatorial race to help get Bruce Blakeman elected — by highlighting Gov. Kathy Hochul’s ties to “Zohran Mamdani and the radical Marxist, Jihadi wing of the Democratic Party.”

The “Defend Empire State” PAC was created to boost the Republican’s campaign to knock Hochul out of office by Jason Meister, a President Trump supporter who ran a “Defend NYC” PAC that targeted Mayor Zohran Mamdani during last year’s City Hall race.

“We’re going to initiate the most aggressive campaign to defeat Kathy Hochul and the Marxist, Communist wing of the Democratic Party Hochul is an enabler of,” Meister, a risk insurance specialist, told The Post after registering his group with the state Board of Elections.

He called Blakeman a “common sense, right-of-center” candidate who will be a good governor.

“Blakeman will be a check on Mamdani. Hochul isn’t,” Meister said.

A review of campaign records from last year’s mayoral race shows that Meister has access to well-heeled donors. Hedge fund honcho Bill Ackman and the Airbnb co-founder Joseph Gebbia each donated $1 million to his Defend NYC PAC during the final weeks of the campaign.

As an independent expenditure Super PAC, the pro-Blakeman group can raise unlimited sums of cash.

“Hochul is an accidental governor,” Meister said, referring to the former lieutenant governor assuming the governorship after Andrew Cuomo resigned in 2021 amid sexual misconduct accusations.

“We’re going to expose her record and her relationship with Mamdani.”

Meister said the race has implications beyond New York.

“This is a national conversation. We don’t want the radical Marxist contagion to metastasize to other cities and states,” he said.

Meister serves on Trump’s advisory board and is not afraid to stir up controversy himself.

He told The Post last year that the Jan. 6, 2001, riots at the Capitol should be declared a national holiday.

“That would be the biggest way to honor these American heroes who risked their lives, freedom and honor to protest what they perceived to be a stolen election,” Meister said at the time.

Blakeman could use the outside cash.

The Hochul campaign and the state Democratic Party combined have a nearly 4-to-1 financial advantage over Blakeman and the New York Republican Party, with $40 million to spend for the home stretch.

Another pro-Blakeman Super PAC called “Strong and Safe New York,” which is bankrolled by Knicks owner James Dolan, is running a million-dollar ad campaign slamming the incumbent governor.

In response, Hochul’s campaign launched its own multi-million dollar ad offensive last week that links Blakeman to Trump, describing her rival as “100% MAGA” and claiming that he’ll “always put Trump ahead of you.”

Trump has a 60% job disapproval rate in New York, according to a recent Siena University poll.

Hochul, 67, defeated Republican Lee Zeldin, now the US Environmental Protection Agency administrator, by 6 percentage points in 2022. She is now seeking a second full, four-year term.

Blakeman, 70, is the current Nassau County executive.
