Beth Davidson Announces 60 Orangetown Endorsements Following Rockland Democratic Forum

These endorsements add to the growing list of more than 230 endorsements for Davidson’s campaign, including the unified backing of Rockland County’s Democratic Party leadership and elected officials in the county that makes up 40% of the district.

“I’m truly grateful for this support from the Rockland community,” said Davidson. “I’ve been honored to represent my Clarkstown and Orangetown neighbors as a local elected leader for nearly a decade, and I am ready to bring my record of results to clean up Mike Lawler and Donald Trump’s mess in Washington.”
