Vedat Gashi: A commonsense Democrat who will deliver.
A commonsense Democrat who will deliver.
Vedat Gashi is an attorney and Westchester County legislator. Vedat came here as a refugee from a country without democracy. He says inflation, January 6, mass shootings, and the recent abortion ruling show our own democracy is at a crossroads. He will work with anyone, especially President Biden, to get things done.
As a Westchester County legislator, he built support for expanding services while cutting taxes. Gashi is a commonsense Democrat running to take action at a very uncommon and risky time.
In the August 23 Democratic primary, the choice is clear.

SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT BIDEN:
| Vedat will work with President Biden to stand up for our communities and implement our Democratic priorities.(2) | |

SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT BIDEN:
