PENN YAN – Those who work towards a more just and equal
America continue to rally to the candidacy of NY-23 candidate for Congress
Tracy Mitrano (D-Penn Yan). Recently, both the National Organization of Women
(NOW) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Off the Sidelines PAC announced their
endorsements of Mitrano’s bid to unseat incumbent Rep. Tom Reed.
NOW PAC only endorses candidates who take uncompromising
progressive stands on reproductive rights and justice, economic justice, ending
violence against women, racial justice, LGBTQIA+ rights and constitutional
equality.
“We’re delighted to have endorsed Tracy, and look forward to
supporting her efforts in 2020,” a statement from NOW PAC said.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-NY) Off the Sidelines PAC is
dedicated to helping elect women to public office who have a track record of
support for progressive issues. The endorsement of Mitrano cited her history as
an educator and cybersecurity expert, whose platform insists on progressive
change that levels the playing field for all.
“Tracy will be an amazing ally in so many ways — from
fighting for a better, more equitable education system, to taking on the NRA
and gun violence, to fighting climate change,” a statement from the
organization said.
Mitrano thanked the organizations for their faith in her
candidacy and highlighted her motivation to fight for the rights of everyone to
be heard in the halls of the Capitol.
“I’m honored to have the endorsements of both a historically
significant fighter for women’s equality in NOW and an emerging leader in
assuring that women have a seat at the table in Off the Sidelines PAC. When we
fight for the rights of others as if they are our own, everyone wins, America
is a fairer and more just place, and we lay the groundwork for a more
prosperous and peaceful nation and 23rd District,” she said.
