New Congressional District

As part of the once-every-ten-years redistricting, New York lost 2 seats and existing Congressional District maps were redrawn by a Federal Magistrate (since the NYS legislature failed to do so). The former 19th CD has been redrawn, and Lewisboro is now part of a new 18th Congressional District, which is shown here.

Congressional Forum

At a recent forum in Mount Kisco, moderated by Peter Parsons, our Lewisboro Supervisor, the five Democrats seeking to obtain the Democratic line to oppose Rep. Nan Hayworth this year presented their views and answered questions from the audience.

Candidates, L to R: Matt Alexander, Duane Jackson, Anne Jacobs Moultrie, Rich Becker, Tom Wilson
