Ask
for
Election
Day
Unity
Below
is
a
statement
unanimously
signed
by
the
County
Democratic
Committee
Chairs
in
the
NY-‐21
Congressional
District:
“The
election
to
be
held
in
November
is
the
single
most
important
election
since
the
Nixon
era,
as
it
will
provide
a
cataclysmic
rebuke
of
everything
inhumane
that
is
being
fostered
by
the
Trump
agenda.
On
November
6,
nothing
is
more
important
to
our
Democracy
than
flipping
control
of
the
United
States
House
of
Representatives.
Our
district,
NY-‐21,
can
play
a
role
in
that.
Or
it
can
sit
on
the
sidelines
and
think
about
what
could
have
been.
To
that
end,
the
twelve
Chairs
of
the
County
Democratic
Committees
in
this
district
implore
our
Democratic
voters
to
weigh
the
impact
of
your
vote
when
you
cast
your
ballot
next
week
on
June
26.
The
candidate
that
you
may
most
closely
agree
with
might
not
have
the
potential
to
be
a
contender
in
November.
As
a
matter
of
doing
the
most
possible
good
with
your
vote,
please
prioritize
the
candidate
who
you
believe
can
actually
unseat
Stefanik
in
November.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
each
of
the
five
remaining
candidates
agree
on
95%
of
the
national
and
district
issues
at
hand.
This
is
a
moderate
to
conservative
district.
In
order
to
send
this
“Rubber
Stamp
for
Trump”
back
to
her
DC
Penthouse
on
K
Street,
we
need
to
be
unified
behind
a
candidate
that
can
actually
beat
her.
Respect
your
conscience.
Mind
your
heart.
But,
please,
Vote
Your
Mind.
In
the
end,
nothing
changes
if
we
don’t
re-‐take
the
seat.
The
transfer
of
leadership
in
the
House
of
Representatives
depends,
in
large,
on
how
we
vote
next
week.”
