37th District NYS Senate candidate Tricia Lindsay
By Dan Murphy
One of the most interesting political candidates for office in Westchester in 2024 is Harrison based attorney Tricia Lindsay. Lindsay is running for State Senate in the 37th District as a Republican.
But the fact that Lindsay is a black woman running on the republican line is not what piques our interest. Lindsay is an outspoke advocate against some of what she calls “the invasion into every area of our lives through the assault on our Constitution, with the erosion of parental rights, an invasion into every area of our lives and the untethered assault on our constitution. With that I have come to realize that I cannot afford to wait any longer for change, and I cannot sit idly by while our communities are overlooked, our children’s futures are jeopardized, and our shared potential is left untapped.”
Lindsay opposed the COVID lockdown during the pandemic. “The lockdowns, go home stay away from family members. It was a clear assault on our constitution, and our freedoms to assemble to work. It just didn’t make sense to me. I said early we need to question this and If we comply they are going to create a vaccine to force on everyone. I was told I was crazy I was told I was a conspiracy theorist; I wear that label proudly. We have all been censored.”
Linsday, who taught in the Yonkers public schools, has also spoken out on what she calls “the challenges we face with the targeting of our children, the attack on the family and the erosion of parental rights.”
“Do you still think it’s a conspiracy theory that there is an active agenda to put the children against their parents, obliterate parental rights, destroy the familial structure, and in turn destroy the children, and set up a totalitarian system of government? Parental rights are under attack in NY.”
Linsday recently spoke at a protest outside the US Supreme Court in Washington during the courts hearing oral arguments concerning the governments actions taken in the months before the 2020 Presidential election with social media companies. The lawsuit alleges that the government censored Americans by getting Social Media companies to take down or reduce the visibility of certain posts.
“Our government has gone rogue and forgotten who has empowered them-it’s we the people. The court will either join the government in violating the rights of its citizens, or they will hold our elected officials accountable for their failures. Our government has forgotten what it was empowered to do.
Ms. Lindsay’s bio explains how she is “educating the masses on the Constitution and citing constitutional law to defend multiple persons whose rights had been violated by the government and corporate overreach.”
“Don’t fall for the bait and switch…. They (Biden, Hochul, and Adams) created all the issues that NYC is dealing with in terms of crime and the migrant issue, and it is being done on purpose, to confuse NYC residents, pit migrants against citizens, increase crime, and create chaos, so they can suspend our rights and rule by Marshal law. WE THE PEOPLE of NY MUST DEMAND that they close the border, find the missing children, house homeless American families, and employ Americans. we must put America first! Period! We can’t help anyone when we need help ourselves,” posted Lindsay on social media.
Lindsay also made national news when the Washington Post included her name under consideration by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his vice-presidential running mate. Lindsay shares RFK Jr.’s opposition to vaccine mandates and the violations of free speech.
While we agree with Lindsay’s views on the violation of Free Speech in the Media today, she is in a difficult election. Her opponent is State Senator Shelley Mayer, one of the most respected elected officials in Westchester.
Westchester republicans also nominated Dr. Miriam Levitt Flisser, the former Mayor of Scarsdale, to run for Congress in the 16th District. Flisser will challenge either Congressman Jamaal Bowman or County Executive George Latimer in November.
Flisser ran for the same post in 2022, getting 36% of the vote. Flisser, a pediatrician, also serves as a pediatric consultant in several school districts in the Bronx and Westchester CountHer campaign has not become active yet, with no information on social media and the link to her website disabled.
