Grateful to sit down with Congressman Mike Lawler this morning to discuss the transition plan ensuring the people of NY-17 have unwavering constituent service support on January 3rd. This is about fighting for and serving everyone in NY-17. It’s about people not parties.
Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇸 From Iraq in 2009 to serving NY-17 in Congress next. Proud of Cait Conley and grateful for her 16 years in the Army. Thank you to everyone who has worn our nation's uniform!
@CaitforNewYork@votevets#VeteransDay#NY17
After a hard-fought campaign, I was happy to welcome Congresswoman-elect Cait Conley to Washington to begin the transition. We had a great conversation about the district, the work ahead, and our mutual respect for each other. I wish Cait well as she takes up the mantle. 🇺🇸
The hypocrisy!
@MortBecker, Bill Weber’s Jewish liaison, spent years telling Jews not to vote Democratic.
Now he’s seeking jobs from the very Democrats he undermined, including @GovKathyHochul & @CaitforNewYork.
Principles apparently end where the paycheck begins.
A shanda.
@NYSenatorWeber@MonseyPolitics Bill. This isn’t agenda-driven; this is simply the truth that your constituents are telling firsthand stories.
I guess you didn’t think it would go public? What else are you still trying to hide?
@MonseyPolitics If you need assistance like that, feel free to email [email protected] and we will see what we can do. I don’t have a constituent service staff yet, but we will do what we can to help anyone in need.
@MonseyPolitics@weber4senate38 is being paid by the state to do his job and help constituents even after losing elections. But for some reason he simply ignores that.
@MortBecker sore loser, cry baby cry.
@FeinerRivkie@lohud@CaitforNewYork@GovKathyHochul Says the person who makes a living writing state and federal grant applications for municipalities.
Rivka, you can stop already with your nonsense. Grow up.
SCOOP: Rumors are circulating in local chats that constituents who called State Senator Bill Weber’s office this week seeking assistance were met with an angry response from his office staff, who reportedly told some callers:
"Call Joe Rand and see if he can help you."
Monsey Politics has confirmed this with one constituent who say he received this response.
One thing I have to disagree with David and Joel on:
Bill Weber is NOT a nice guy.
Just look at his history. He was part of Preserve Ramapo and the Rockland GOP, organizations that spent years opposing Jewish growth in our community.
Bill Weber ran in multiple local elections in the @townoframapo with one clear agenda: stopping Jewish growth.
He showed up at town hall meetings in the Village of Airmont to fight against Jewish residents opening shuls.
Then came 2022, when a massive Republican red wave swept through our community. More than $1 million was spent on political propaganda to bash Democrats and elect Republicans like @LeeMZeldin.
Even @YossiGestetner, who had previously been an outspoken activist against the Rockland GOP, joined the effort and campaigned for Mike Lawler and Bill Weber.
But here's what hasn't changed:
Bill Weber has never apologized for the pain and damage his past actions caused the Jewish community.
The only reason so many in our community voted for him was because he had an R next to his name.
Let's not rewrite history. Being a Republican doesn't erase someone's record.
"We back candidates who back us" is a strange way to explain what happened to Bill Weber.
You can make the argument that having a minority senator is less valuable for grants & legislation, but don't pretend that Bill didn't work hard everyday for Jews and all his constituents.
Shout out to @YossiGestetner, @MonseyPolitics, Mona Montel and the bloc votes of Izzy Spitzer / New Square, Satmar, Viznitz, Pupa & Vein and Herschel Horowitz & Pomona Deputy Mayor Lasker who all made this move over to Joe Rand guaranteeing his victory. And nice work Yoel Fried!
🚨 Orthodox Jews flipped a red Senate seat blue in NY. Read that again.
@GovKathyHochul ran 50% better in Jewish Rockland. Jews ALSO gave Joe Rand his ENTIRE margin of victory and @NYSenate Dems a supermajority
As I told NYT: We're post-party.
We back candidates who back us.
Last night, the Hudson Valley proved that people across the political spectrum can come together united by shared values and the belief that America’s best days are still ahead of us. And for that, we celebrate.
Now, we start getting to work. We have a lot to do to root out the corruption that has taken hold in Washington, lower costs for working families, and make our government serve the people once again.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for entrusting me with the privilege of a lifetime. I will never take it for granted, and I promise to fight each and every day for the better, more affordable future we all deserve.
