A broad, diverse group of over 100 politically engaged residents from all across New York’s 17th Congressional District have endorsed Beth Davidson’s campaign for Congress. This latest group of supporters follows a series of Democratic candidate forums in Westchester and a slate of major endorsements from Rockland County Democratic Party leaders and elected officials.

Davidson is now the only candidate in the race with broad-based support from Democratic Party leadership, elected officials, and everyday constituents, solidifying her position as the frontrunner in the race. Her coalition reflects strong community connections, a track record in public service, and growing momentum among Democrats aiming to unseat 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 tangible results for our communities,” said 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.”
