Republicans Courting NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly For Mayor

And Kelly is open to it.

Kelly, who has come under fire for the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk and Muslim-surveillance policies, could use the City Hall post to continue driving down crime and fighting local terrorism “for another four or eight years,’’ said former state GOP Chairman William Powers, who heads the party’s newly created statewide “advisory committee.’’

While Kelly isn’t enrolled in a political party, Powers said the state Election Law would make it easy for the longtime commissioner to run as the GOP candidate.
