George Latimer

Natalie Migliore reports.

The 16th Congressional District sees incumbent Democrat George Latimer retain his seat, while the 17th District's Republican incumbent Mike Lawler will pass the torch to Democratic challenger Kate Conley.

Long Island's Democratic incumbents Tom Suozzi and Laura Gillen hold onto their seats.

However, New York's 21st Congressional District stays red as Congresswoman Elise Stefanik leaves the seat to make way for fellow Republican Anthony Constantino.

not considered competitive, so it's not as big an issue as in the northern part of the county.

George Latimer.

George Latimer.

Thanks, Christine.

Results won't come out until later in this district.

Bottom line is I actually was with the.

I was with Senator Shelley Mayer earlier and also with Congressman George Latimer, and that's what we were doing today, visiting seniors.

And I spoke with some seniors about this, and I said, it is coming.

We're here to help you.

They're planning to in 2028.

They're planning to target, to oppose, Richie Torres, George Latimer, Laura Gillen, Tom Swozy, Jared Moskowitz, and Greg Lansman.

Because of their insufficiently radical left-wing views, they need them to be more radical, and they're going to replace them with their preferred candidates.

Who

It's only fitting that the building dedicated to preserving Westchester County's history now bears the name of someone who helped preserve it.

We want to recognize former county executive and now Congressman George Latimer, who first introduced this legislation to name the building in Andy's honor.

Today, we had the privilege of bringing that recognition to its final invisible moment.

This unveiling is more than a placement of a name of a building.

But we have one more special guest for you, right? Because, you know, you never know when we can pull those things together.

And he was the one that made sure that we had that conversation and that you were able to listen to him.

That's our good friend, Congressman George Latimer.

This is a great moment, and I'm happy that I could be a part of it.

Really from a variety of directions, but it was primarily the feds to the state and then the state interpreted through the county.

And here, George Latimer did something very helpful, which was to have weekly or bimonthly telephone conferences where city officials could ask questions about how the county was interpreting things.

things, either things where the county was itself the rule giver or where the county had to follow similar rules.

That was extremely helpful.

Sure.

So I mean, they effectively, they, they were primaried and, and they were in the House, and they lost their seat in the primary to a guy called George Latimer.

And Latimer got $5 million from AIPAC directly.

But then AIPAC also spent close to just under $10 million on attack ads on Jamaal Bowman and was seen as this, like, very indicative race because Jamaal Bowman was, was very progressive, and he was very, he was very critical of, of arms sales to Israel in particular and, and of the relationship between America and Israel.

Generally speaking, it's, it's American pro-Israel supporters who are putting money into it.

And, and between October twenty twenty-three and February twenty twenty-four, I think AIPAC got seventy million dollars in donations, which they donate directly to, to political campaigners, right? And they'll set up PACs to do that, and they've materially impacted on, on certain Senate races and certain House races.

So Jamaal Bowman lost to George Latimer, and, and AIPAC put in fifty million dollars into that race, which is apparently the most amount of money to ever been put into a single House race.

And it worked, and it succeeded.
