Mondaire Jones Visits Scarsdale

While Republicans were rallying around the Trump-Vance ticket in Milwaukee, a group of determined Democrats assembled in Scarsdale to support Congressional candidate Mondaire Jones in his bid to represent NY Congressional District 17.

Following his first term in Congress, Jones lost his seat due to redistricting and is now back, vying to unseat Mike Lawler to represent Rockland County, Putnam County, Northern Westchester and portions of Southern Duchess County. A native of Spring Valley and a current resident of Sleepy Hollow, this is Jones home.

At a fundraiser in Scarsdale on July 17, Mondaire reviewed many of his legislative accomplishments during his first term and emphasized his enthusiasm to continue to work on behalf of the American people. He discussed the infrastructure bill, rescuing the economy during the COVID crisis, passage of the marriage equality act and support for housing and healthcare. He said, “Democrats believe in a functioning government and in what we can get done.” He voiced his support for a woman’s right to choose, voting rights legislation and for Israel.

In contrast his opponent favors banning abortion, opposes gun control and backs Trumps and his agenda.

Jones emphasized the need to provide financial support Democratic candidates for Congress so that Democrats could regain control of the House of Representatives. He was optimistic about success in his district where Democrats outnumber Republicans and called his district “ground zero” in the fight to save our democracy. He said, "We can save this country."
