ABOUT US:
We are Westchester Progressives from all walks of life who believe that no matter what we look like, we all deserve dignity. We worked hard to elect George Latimer because we thought he believed it too.
But when George let a right wing lobby recruit him to run against Jamaal Bowman, our district’s first Black Congressman and one of the most important progressive champions in Congress, we realized that George Latimer isn’t who we thought he was.
Funding From Republicans: We elected George to get MAGA Republicans out of Westchester. Now he’s wining and dining with top Trump Donors like Alex Dubitsky, accepting over one million dollars from a right wing lobby group directly, along $25 million in attack ads from their SuperPAC. They even registered 1000 Republicans as Democrats to vote for him.
Stoking Islamophobia. After Trump was elected, so many Muslims came together to elect George Latimer to fight back against the kind of division and discrimination faced after 9/11. But since he started running for Congress, Latimer has spread hateful rhetoric about Muslims and accusing people of being “Hamas” supporters just for wanting peace.
Dividing Democrats. We've worked so hard to build build the Democratic party so we could keep unseating Republicans. We were ready to spend this year going all-in on beating more MAGA Republicans--just like we went all-in on helping George beat MAGA Rob Astorino in 2017. Instead, we’re now defending our top progressive leader... from George Latimer! He's dividing the party when we should be uniting.
Why are all these Trump backers throwing their support behind George Latimer? And how can he accept it from them? We deserve better than to have to ask.
We deserve Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who in two terms has proven himself to be the same thing he was during his ten years as a principle of a top Bronx public school: a fearless progressive champion who fights for all of us. Even knowing it will inviting the most expensive Congressional primary ever.
So here are the real progressive results: George Latimer has lost us. We stand for our progressive principals, and with our progressive principal. We worked hard to elect George Latimer. Now, we'll work even harder to stop him.
