Dr. Miriam Leavitt Flisser
Dr. Flisser has deep roots in Westchester and the Bronx, and an inspiring biography. She came to the United States as a child refugee from Eastern Europe and was raised in the Bronx before moving to Westchester. She served as the Mayor of Scarsdale following two terms as a Village Trustee, including service as Village Police Commissioner and Village Fire Commissioner.
Currently, she runs her own pediatric practice in Bronxville, and serves as Medical Director for schools in both Westchester and the Bronx. She graduated from The Bronx High School of Science, followed by New York University’s Bronx campus; and The Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After moving to Westchester, Dr. Flisser has continued to serve the Bronx and Westchester communities for decades as a voluntary physician in numerous capacities.
A registered independent, Flisser won her three elections in Scarsdale on an independent “NonPartisan” ballot line. In 2022, she ran a spirited challenge against the current incumbent Congressman, Jamaal Bowman, and looks forward to building on that base this year. A dedicated public servant and trusted pediatrician with crossover appeal, Dr. Flisser’s message resonates with voters of all walks of life who embrace common sense solutions to rein in an outof-control federal government.
Said Flisser, “From inflation to border security, to crime, to parental rights, our federal government has failed the American people. We need a new voice in Washington who will stand up for our values. The Democrats have offered the voters of the 16th Congressional District a choice between a Defund the Police, anti-Israel radical who gives aid and comfort to terrorists, and a career politician who has raised taxes at every level of government in which he served over the past four decades. Both would continue the failed policies currently on display in our nation’s capital. I’m a pediatrician – not a politician – and my campaign will offer the voters an obvious choice that embraces common sense to build consensus, and rejects the current dysfunction and incompetence of our federal government and its representatives.”
