Latimer Backs Bramson
Key Endorsement For Assembly Challenger

Press Release

(October 7, 2002 ) Westchester County Legislator George Latimer has thrown his support behind Noam Bramson in the race for the New York State Assembly in the 91st District. Latimer, who represents Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye, and portions of New Rochelle, is regarded as an enormously popular figure on the Sound Shore, with 15 years in public office as an elected official.

Latimer’s announcement comes one week after Democrats unanimously selected him to chair the party’s county organization.

"Noam Bramson is a public servant of rare quality,” said Latimer. “As a long-time aide to Congresswoman Nita Lowey and as a New Rochelle City Councilman, Noam has demonstrated remarkable ability, intellect, and principle. The Sound Shore deserves to have a representative of Noam’s caliber fighting for us on the issues that matter most. I am proud to support such an outstanding candidate and will work actively to ensure Noam’s election on November 5th.”

Bramson also picked up the endorsement of the Democratic Committee in the City of Rye, Latimer’s hometown.

"George Latimer is among the most effective, dedicated, and eloquent leaders Westchester has ever seen,” said Bramson. “George enjoys a level of respect and admiration among his constituents that is unique in its breadth and depth. I am honored to have George’s strong endorsement and look forward to working with him on behalf of our community.”
