| Jason,
My parents, a U.S. Navy veteran and a public school teacher, taught me that "95% of life is showing up." In the Davidson house, working hard, showing up for your community, and standing up for what's right were non-negotiable values.
What did that look like for me? Scooping ice cream and waiting tables. Playing team sports like softball and basketball. Volunteering for the local food bank and marching for women's rights. Helping to care for my grandparents and making it to every wedding, birthday, funeral, graduation, and celebration possible.
After college, those values took me to Washington, D.C., where first as a researcher and later as the National Press Secretary at EMILY's List, I fought every day to help elect pro-choice Democratic women across the country. I also worked on several top-tier congressional campaigns, where I saw firsthand what's possible when women raise their voices, and how we can create real change from the ground up.
When I moved to the Hudson Valley, I found my community by getting involved. I joined my local Democratic Committee and our PTA. I volunteered for a number of local nonprofits and served on the board of my synagogue, learning what it means to lead with compassion and conviction. Both of my kids attended public school, where I saw firsthand how important it was that our students, teachers, and families had the resources they needed to succeed and thrive.
So I ran for the Nyack Board of Education, running a vigorous grassroots campaign and coming in first in a five-way race. By the end of my second term, I had helped to pass property tax relief for seniors and first responders, improve school safety and technology, and safely reopen schools during COVID. And I never stopped showing up.
Then I ran for the County Legislature—and won. I led a slate of Democrats to secure Rockland's first-ever Democratic legislative supermajority. We made history. But more importantly—we delivered.
Just eight months after my swearing-in, I fulfilled a campaign promise by passing a common-sense gun safety law—unanimously. Today, I chair the Environment Committee. I serve as vice chair of the Housing and Economic Development Committee. I've built coalitions to get things done—whether that's cutting taxes, protecting our open space, safeguarding our drinking water, or increasing funding for our nonprofits.
Now, I'm ready to bring that same energy to Congress. I'll work with anyone who has a good idea to make life better for Hudson Valley families—because that's what I've always done.
As a Jewish mom of two public school kids, a two-time cancer survivor, and someone who's worked hand-in-hand with my community to tackle tough challenges, I know what's at stake.
And I'm not done showing up and fighting for our rights, our families, and our future. So, if you're ready to fight alongside me, I hope you'll contribute to my campaign for Congress today: |
| I know this is an unsettling, even frightening time for so many in the Hudson Valley. I also know there is a path forward, if we blaze it together. If you are looking for hope, let's be that hope. If you want change, let's be that change. At the end of the day, I truly believe that more unites us than divides us. Let's show the world that our love for this community will triumph over chaos and cruelty—every time. |
