Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats "Our Mission"

“If that body of elected officials are ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. As members of Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats we will demand any fraud of the people be stopped.”

The Mt. Vernon Independent Democrats (MVID) will use innovative grassroots organizing strategies to help candidates break through the political glass ceiling. The MVID will target and mobilize support for all the races (including any important ballot measures) in one coordinated campaign. We also recruit and endorse strong community activist early in their political careers, recognizing that a candidate may have to run more than once to win.

The Mount Vernon Independent Democrats will be the voice for residents of Mt. Vernon in the politics of the Democratic Party. Born from the idea of the need of reform of the usual party boss rule for political gain without gain for the people in Mt. Vernon that includes all ethic groups and economic backgrounds.

As Independent Democrats we will continue to support progressive government and issues, help elect honest and intelligent public officials, and supports deserving and qualified judicial candidates. We serve as a direct conduit to local elected officials, organize forums to introduce prospective candidates to the voters, and then organize support behind our endorsed candidates.

With the MVID dedicated membership, and its network with other grassroots and community organizations, the MVID offers distinct benefits to both the candidates and the causes we support, as well as to the people who contribute to them. This is an organization "For the People and by the People."

Rejection of two Candidates Claiming to be Independent Democrats

Rejection of two Candidates Claiming to be Independent Democrats

In recent advertisement, two candidates for Mount Vernon City Council have represented themselves as the “Independent Democratic Team”.  We the Westchester Independent Democrats are greatly disappointed in the misrepresentation of two Mount Vernon City Council Candidates Andre R. Bailey and Maria L. Carabaillo. 
 
As the Chairman of the Westchester Independent Democrats, these two candidates have no affiliation with our organization or the Mount Vernon Chapter of the Independent Democrats. 
 
Mr. Bailey or Mrs. Carabaillo have never been vetted to be endorsed or given permission to represent the name Independent Democrat in the city of Mount Vernon or Westchester County. This is definitely a misuse of the peoples trust in our mission and beliefs and complete fraud to gain votes from people in Mount Vernon who otherwise would not vote for them.

Anthony  C. Mitchell
Chairman
