Working Families Party Describes Mission Vision Future
Ex-Rep. Mondaire Jones appears to have lost a battle for a liberal third-party line on Tuesday – in a blow toJones appears to have lost the primary to run under the Working Families Party banner, an often crucial second ballot line that could spell the difference between victory and defeat for Democratic Party candidates in New York’s purple districts.Jones was trailing unknown Anthony Frascone, who party officials claimed was put up to the race by Republican incumbent Rep.
Judge slams Karen Read for smirking at her as she awaits fate in murder trial: 'This is funny? We're done'The WFP said Frascone, who resides in Congers in Rockland County, never came in for an endorsement interview and has no contact history with the party leaders.The 17th Congressional District in the Hudson Valley takes in all of Rockland and Putnam counties, part of northern Westchester and Dutchess counties.Jones had no immediate comment.
Rockland County Republican Party chairman Lawrence Garvey said he knows Frascone, but had nothing to do with him running against Jones in the WFP primary. The Conservative Party leadership in Orange County had cross-endorsed Houle, who ran on the party’s ballot line in 2022.Jones now has moved back into the 17th CD, a move critics that saw critics blasting him as a “carpetbagger.”But Tim Mitts, a tax preparer who was convicted of filing fraudulent returns in Kentucky in 2008, won the primary.Running on a second Conservative Party ballot line is often the difference between Republicans winning or losing in purple districts.
