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."

If Mayor Ernie Davis brought crack-cocaine to the Democratic interview the Mt. Vernon Community needs to Demand Answers!!



In the online blog Mount Vernon Exposed, it was reported over the weekend, that Mayor Ernie Davis brought crack-cocaine to the Democratic interview process. 

"I just wanted to show you we need to be paying more attention to what our youth are doing," Mayor Davis told the committee according to a source who was part of that interview process.

If this is true, there are several things wrong here, 

1. Mayor Davis who is on probation was in possession on a controlled substance which is a violation of his probation and against both state and federal laws, (an average citizen who has never broke the law would have been arrested)

2. Mayor Davis travels with a member of the MVPD on his detail at all times and this individual didn't see anything wrong with this

3. Reginald Lafayette and the Democratic Committee thought in their infinite wisdom that this action made Davis the candidate that should represent the party in the upcoming election.

Come to City Council Meeting this Wednesday May 26, 2015 at 7pm and demand answers. You must call (914) 665-2351 before 2:30pm if you want to speak at the Council meeting.

Many feel Davis should step down from office and not run for re-election, if this is true at the very least, his probation officer needs to look into this to determine if he has in fact violated his probation.
