I know that the Democratic Party stands for the common good, and for giving everyone a fair shot at life no matter where they’re born or the conditions they have experienced in life.<h4>What excites you about running for office this year?</h4>ZC) I am excited to run because I want to bring new, young, and passionate voices to politics in our area and to the legislature. Running as both a Democrat and a young person, neither of which have had much political representation in our district, I am excited to carry the mantle of these groups to claim a seat at the table. I am also excited to hear what matters to the voters of the 94th Assembly District and how that connects to my experiences growing up here.<h4>What will you bring to the State Assembly that is unique?</h4>ZC) I bring the perspective from the new generation who has experienced a different “New York” and a different approach to politics on all levels. I bring a passion for politics that bridges the gap between generations to make our voices heard in a way that involves cooperation and progress, rather than division and dysfunction.<h4>Who is your political role model?</h4>ZC) President Lyndon B. Johnson was a warrior for social, economic, and racial equality and justice for all Americans. His unrelenting commitment to the causes of the poor and the disadvantaged through his passing of the Civil Rights Act, Great Society, Voting Rights Act, Medicare, and Medicaid has always inspired me, especially shining light on the importance of being an effective legislator and deal maker.<h4>What one thing do you want voters to know about you?</h4>ZC) A big reason for my faith in leadership, public service, and the good work that can come from politics is because of my experience as an Eagle Scout. I am proud to have brought together a group of 20 volunteers to build garden beds to grow produce for food-insecure community members at Northern Westchester Hospital, demonstrating the possibility and benefits of leadership, community work, and serving our friends and neighbors when we work together under a common cause. I genuinely believe that type of work and cooperation is possible in politics, and I plan to use this experience in the Assembly to serve the people of our district.<h3>Your 2024 Calendar of Democracy</h3>• &nbsp;April 14th - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mobilize.us/putnamcountydemocrats/event/612370/">PCDC Kickoff Brunch with Mondaire Jones!</a>• &nbsp;May - Voter outreach for state and local races&nbsp;• June - Get out the vote for the Primary election&nbsp;• June 1 - PCDC Fundraiser!• July/Aug - Neighbor-to-neighbor outreach, house parties, independent voter contact• September - Town fundraisers, Democratic voter contact, Putnam Dems convention• October - Early voting begins - get out the vote canvassing• November 5th - Election Day!• December - Candidate recruitment for 2025 local races<h3>Our Endorsed Candidates</h3><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.putnamdemocrats.com/endorsements">Putnam County Dems have endorsed the following candidates for 2024:</a>&nbsp;<ul><li>President Joe Biden</li><li>Vice-President Kamala Harris</li><li>Senator Kirsten Gillibrand</li><li>Mondaire Jones for Congress (NY-17)</li><li>State Senator Pete Harckham (SD 40)</li><li>Yvette Valdes-Smith (SD 39)</li><li>Zachary Couzens (AD 94)</li><li>Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg (AD 95)</li><li>County Legislator Nancy Montgomery (Dist 1)</li><li>Randall Mulkins for County Legislator (Dist 4)</li><li>Regina Gelfer, Putnam Valley Town Clerk</li><li>Sonya Abbye-Taylor, Patterson Town Board</li></ul>

With a recent poll suggesting 50% of the population didn’t know which side had more casualties, and media bubbles an increasing concern, here are some outside-the-mainstream, full-throated, across the spectrum, voices on the current Middle East conflict:&nbsp;

PETITIONING FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEPUTNAM DEMOCRATS MAKE EARLY ENDORSEMENTS FOR SOME 2024 RACES The Putnam County Democrats have endorsed Mondaire Jones as the NY17 Congressional candidate at their annual meeting on November 30th, joining neighboring Westchester and Rockland counties. They also took formal endorsement votes in support of incumbent County Legislator Nancy Montgomery (Dist 1), Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg (Dist 95), State Senator Peter Harckham (Dist 40), U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and President Joe Biden. Jones inspired party leaders from all 6 Putnam towns by recounting his successes during the most productive Congress in modern history (2019-2020), and talked about his goals for the future as Democrats take back control of the House of Representatives. “In one of the most competitive races in the country, in an election that could literally decide the fate of our democracy, Putnam Democrats stand ready and energized to take back this seat and get Congress back to working for the American people,” said Chair Jennifer Colamonico. “Mike Lawler must be held accountable for how little he has done other than support a literal zealot to lead his do-nothing caucus - no matter how many mailings he sends spinning fabrications of the truth.” The committee intends to support candidates in other races this year, including State Senate district 39, State Assembly district 94, two other seats on the Putnam County legislature, and a special election for Carmel Town Board. Interested candidates should contact the committee asap at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:info@putnamdemocrats.com">info@putnamdemocrats.com</a>. Press:&nbsp;For additional information, please contact Jen Colamonico at 917.273.2179

The Putnam County Democrats have endorsed Mondaire Jones as the NY17 Congressional candidate at their annual meeting on November 30th, joining neighboring Westchester and Rockland counties…

Early Endorsements

In 2023, Democrats won 62% of the seats where they competed across Putnam. The Committee congratulates successful 2023 endorsed candidates: re-electing, Putnam Valley Highway Supervisor Shawn Keeler; electing outgoing Putnam Valley clerk Sherry Howard to the Town Board; re-electing the Philipstown team of Supervisor John Van Tassel, Board members Judy Farrell and Bob Flaherty, Town Clerk Tara Percacciolo, and Highway Superintendent Adam Hotaling; and electing Angela Thompson-Tinsley as Philipstown Justice. We thank all the candidates who ran very competitive races, notably Kathy Kahng in Legislative District 3, and Maggie Ploener in Legislative District 2. Both of these candidates came within a few hundred votes of victory.
