The Mount Kisco Democratic Committee celebrates Juneteenth, marking the day in 1865 when news of the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery finally reached enslaved people in Texas — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy every day. On this Memorial Day, we pause in gratitude and remembrance for those who never came home.

Happy Mother’s Day from the Mount Kisco Democratic Committee to all the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, and mother figures in our community. Wishing you a day filled with love, appreciation, and joy.

John Rhodes, who took the picture, is no

As Ramadan comes to a close, we extend warm wishes to all who have been observing this holy month of reflection, discipline, and generosity. Eid al-Fitr marks a time of celebration, gratitude, and community. May this special day bring peace, joy, and renewed hope to all who celebrate. Eid Mubarak.

May our tables be full, our hearts open, and our community strengthened through acts of kindness.

The Mount Kisco Democrat Committee agreed that we ask the community to sign for Cait Conley and Beth Davidson when we petition for Mount Kisco and Westchester candidates. We believe that Conley and Davidson are both exceptional candidates who can beat Mike Lawler and serve all residents of New York Congressional District 17. If anyone petitions for any other candidate, they are not the preferred candidate of virtually every Democrat committee in CD-17.

Today we celebrate Irish heritage, culture, and the enduring spirit of community that brings people together.

Last evening began the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing. May this holy month be a time of reflection, compassion, and renewed commitment to community. Wishing peace, strength, and blessings to everyone beginning the fast.

Today, we mourn the passing of Jesse Jackson — a towering voice for justice and equality in America. Jackson challenged this country to expand opportunity, defend voting rights, and live up to its highest ideals. He reminded us that progress does not happen on its own — it requires courage, persistence, and people willing to demand a more just nation.

The Mount Kisco Democratic Committee wishes everyone a year filled with health, happiness, prosperity, and new beginnings. May this new year bring strength, renewal, and good fortune.
