Groundswell of Support Grows for Mayor Gearity

Westchester County Legislator Catherine Borgia, who represents Legislative District 9, recently announced she is endorsing Mayor Victoria Gearity for reelection. In a statement, Borgia praised Gearity’s professionalism and experience.

“Victoria is the leader Ossining needs right now: a forward-thinking Mayor with a mind of her own,” Borgia said. “She has kept Ossining moving in a positive direction in a fiscally responsible manner…. I endorse her for reelection for Mayor, along with the entire Democratic ticket for Ossining.”

Borgia, a former Ossining Town Supervisor and Village Trustee, also pointed to Gearity’s recent endorsement from Eleanor’s Legacy, a group that supports Democratic women candidates, as a reason for her support.

Borgia is the latest Democratic leader to back Mayor Gearity’s re-election. The Mayor has also earned the public endorsements of Ken Jenkins, Westchester County Deputy Executive; Dana Levenberg, Ossining Town Supervisor; Peekskill Mayor Andre Rainey; Thomasina Laidley-Brown, chairwoman of the Ossining Democratic Committee; Manuel Quezada, candidate for Trustee; former trustee and union leader Robert Daraio; and numerous residents and business owners.

“I am thrilled to have Catherine’s endorsement,” said Gearity. “She knows that a unified Democratic party is the best way to move Ossining forward while ensuring all residents are heard.”

Legislative District 9 includes Ossining, Briarcliff, Croton, and parts of Cortland and Peekskill.
