Today, the New York Working Families Party announced the endorsements for candidates in the Hudson Valley, including Westchester, Putnam, Orange, Ulster and Dutchess counties.
Candidates who apply for the Working Families Party endorsement complete a robust questionnaire and interview process. At a time when local elected officials are on the frontline of protecting our communities and democracy, NYWFP is investing deeply in these races to ensure New Yorkers have trusted leaders who fight for working families.
“The New York Working Families Party is proud to endorse a slate of champions throughout the Hudson Valley who will fight for working families. We are excited to work alongside this diverse group of leaders who will deliver bold, progressive change throughout the Hudson Valley,” said Ana María Archila and Jasmine Gripper, Co-Directors, New York Working Families Party.
