Over 100 Community Advocates Across NY-17 Back Davidson After Westchester Democratic Forums & Pivotal Rockland County Endorsements

NYACK, NY — Momentum continues to surge for Beth Davidson’s campaign for Congress in New York’s 17th District, as more than 100 residents across NY-17 have endorsed her candidacy. This wave of support follows a series of Democratic candidate forums in Westchester and a slate of major endorsements from Rockland County Democratic Party leaders and elected officials.

Beth Davidson is the only candidate in the race with broad-based support from Democratic Party leadership, elected officials, and everyday constituents, solidifying her position as the clear frontrunner in the race for NY-17. Her coalition reflects deep roots in the district, a proven record of delivering results, and the strength needed to flip this seat and defeat Republican Mike Lawler.

“This campaign is about all of us, and about bringing people together from every corner of NY-17 to take back this seat and deliver for our communities,” said Beth Davidson. “I’m honored to have the support of so many neighbors who are fighting for affordable healthcare, reproductive freedom, strong public schools, a livable planet, and a government that actually works for the people. Together, we’re building a grassroots movement that’s ready to win.” 

About Beth Davidson:

A thyroid cancer survivor, she has fought firsthand for affordable healthcare and understands the real costs families face.
