The mother of an Afghanistan veteran who was brutally murdered in the Big Apple nearly a decade ago endorsed Curtis Sliwa for mayor on Wednesday — while blasting ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo for passing the state’s “soft-on-crime” bail reforms.

Madeline Brame — mom of 35-year-old US Army Sgt. Hason Correa — stood with the GOP candidate for mayor in Lower Manhattan, calling out his opponents, Cuomo, who is running as an independent, and front-runner Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.

“Why would anyone in their right mind want to vote for Andrew Cuomo again?” Brame asked.

“Mamdani is just a continuation of the failed progressive policies that have run New York City into the ground,” she railed.

Correa, a married father of three, was tragically stabbed to death on Oct. 18, 2018, during a scuffle by a group of four people outside a Harlem apartment building.

Two of the four assailants’ most serious charges were downgraded and dropped by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in 2022 — and their bails were then slashed thanks to the law signed by then-Gov. Cuomo in 2019, she said.

“He was the one who signed off and championed the policy,” Brame said of Cuomo.

“Bill de Blasio was the mayor at the time. These people ignored the cries of victims,” she said.

Sliwa, the founder of the crime prevention vigilante group the Guardian Angels, echoed Brame’s concerns about his mayoral foes.

“You want no cash bail to continue? You vote for Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo,” Sliwa said, noting he was ready to tackle the issue during the first general election mayoral debate on WNBC Thursday night.

“They’re two peas in a pod,” Sliwa said of his opponents.

“I’m representing the victims, the continued victims of crime in New York City,” he said.

Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, fired back at Sliwa, underscoring that violent crimes are still bail-eligible and that the reforms have been “tweaked many times” to give discretion to prosecutors and judges.

“Swila is an admitted liar who faked crimes for publicity and a fraudster who still solicits money for his fake vigilante group even though they lost their non-profit status years ago,” he said.

Since launching his comeback bid for mayor, Cuomo has defended the controversial reforms, telling The Post in March that the laws, which have since been partially rolled back, “righted a terrible wrong” of disparities in the prison system.

Cuomo has promised to hire 5,000 additional NYPD cops as the cornerstone of his public safety plan.

Mamdani has vowed to retain the number of cops in the force and develop a new, civilian Department of Community Safety to respond to mental health disturbances and other non-violent calls.

Reps for Mamdani did not return a request for comment.
