A slew of state Democratic Committee members have signed a letter urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to drop party chairman Jay Jacobs in the wake of last Tuesday’s midterm elections — which left normally true-blue New York in position to flip the House of Representatives for Republicans and the governor coming thisclose to losing.

“Last week, voters across the US successfully combated a ‘red wave’ and instead flipped several state legislatures and gubernatorial seats to Democratic control and fought valiantly to maintain congressional seats,” read the letter signed by hundreds, including sitting members of the state Senate and Assembly.

“Here in New York, however, the State Democratic Party — led by Cuomo appointee Jay Jacobs — failed to commit the time, energy, and resources necessary to maintain our deep-blue status,” the letter states.

Four congressional “seats flipped to Republican control, and Gov. Hochul won by a slim majority — the smallest in two decades,” it adds.

“The writing is on the wall and has been for some time: Jay Jacobs is not fit to serve as Chair of the State Democratic Party, and it’s time for Governor Hochul to work with the party to elect a focused, determined, unifying party leader,” the letter continues.

“During his victory speech, Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado said New York must continue to be a beacon of progress. But we cannot be the guiding light for our country under a party chair who spends his time creating a third party, actively works against Democratic nominees (while comparing them to nationally known racists no less), supports his local Republican Party, doesn’t lift a finger to enact constitutional amendments to protect our democracy, and blames everyone else for his leadership failures,” it goes on.

“The New York State Democratic Party is better than this. We, the undersigned, are ready to work with Governor Hochul to elect a real party leader who embodies actual democratic values and is — as our party website clearly states — ‘committed to building a party that ensures New Yorkers have progressive, fair, and dedicated leaders at every level of government,’” the letter concludes.

On Saturday, Mayor Eric Adams insisted that Jacobs is doing a great job — joining Hochul, who previously said she wouldn’t call for the resignation of the long-embattled party boss.

“Jay Jacobs has been a real steady hand, and I think Rodneyse Bichotte — talk about W’s,” Hizzoner added, crediting Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, who also serves in the Assembly, for helping deliver state Attorney General Letitia James’ victory.

Bichotte Hermelyn has also come under fire for failing to bring out her party’s vote in Kings County.

Last week, far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also called for Jacobs to step down.

“I called for Jay Jacobs’ resignation a year ago and I still hold that position,” AOC said in a tweet Wednesday after being re-elected to her third term representing parts of the Bronx and Queens.

Jacobs, who did not immediately return a request for comment Monday, has clashed with lefty pols like AOC in recent years over issues like public safety while pushing Democrats to stick to more moderate positions.

“New York did underperform, but so did California,” Jacobs recently told City & State about state Democrats’ lackluster performance last week. “What do those two states have in common? Well, governmentally, we’re among the two most progressive states in the country.”

“I’m not going to take responsibility for, or blame, if you will, for losses that we had here,” he added.

Other Democrats have also drawn criticism for weighing down the party’s performance at the polls.

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee who lost his own reelection, blamed Hochul for running an underwhelming campaign that hurt down-ballot Dems defending several swing districts in the U.S. House. 

Others have pointed to Bichotte Hermelyn over legislative losses in southern Brooklyn while suggesting the time had come for her to resign along with Jacobs.

“Time and time again she’s been too busy picking meaningless fights to consolidate her own power rather than help build the party,” one Brooklyn elected official told The Post about Bichotte Hermelyn and her ongoing battles with some local party leaders.

Campaign filings show the county party filing multiple “no activity” reports with the State Board of Elections ahead of the election.

“They should be accountable for winning their seats,” Bichotte Hermelyn said Monday about longtime incumbents Peter Abbate Jr. and Steven Cymbrowitz, who lost their seats amid an unexpectedly strong GOP push in southern Brooklyn. 

For now, party critics appear to have bigger fish to fry than Bichotte Hermelyn despite her position overseeing the largest Democratic county organization in the United States.

“Kings County Dem Party is super dysfunctional but I think the priority should be replacing Jacobs,” state Sen. Julia Salazar (D-Brooklyn) said Monday.

Jacobs was appointed to his leadership role by Hochul’s predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, who resigned after multiple scandals and potential impeachment last year.

On Thursday, Hochul said: “We are not making any decisions. I think he did a great job as chair, and he continues as chair. I am not changing anything.”

She doubled down Monday while speaking to reporters in Buffalo despite the letter pushing her to dump Jacobs.

“I’ve already answered this question. Jay Jacobs is the chair of the party,” she said.
