Comedy legend Mel Brooks has gotten involved in one of Long Island's state Senate races.
Brooks recorded robocalls for his great nephew, state Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D - 9th District).
Kaminsky won a special election in May to fill Dean Skelos's seat. He is now running for a full term.
Republican challenger Christopher McGrath issued a statement to News 12 saying, "Todd Kaminsky did nothing this summer with regards to the Green Acres Mall tax abatement, and as a result, the residents are paying upwards of $1,200 more on their tax bill and yet he believes you should vote for him because Mel Brook is his Uncle."
