Peekskill Democratic Committee Chair Marina Ciotti announced that the council members up for re-election  have been endorsed unanimously by the party commitee.

"The Democrats, led by Mayor Foster, have transformed Peekskill into a regional hub for business, art, dining and entertainment - all while dealing with an incredibly challenging economic environment," Ciotti said. "It is an exceptional accomplishment that, despite all the tough decisions they have had to make, Peekskill is successfully positioned to move forward towards an even bigger and brighter future."

Ciotti cited the re-launching of the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater, the imminent opening of the first "green" Holiday Inn Express in New York State, the ongoing transformation of the waterfront district and continuing business expansion in the downtown as positive progress made by the current leadership.

 "These examples of the wonderful things happening in our city, and more anticipated in the coming year, are why we are thrilled to support Mayor Foster and her team for re-election," Ciottis said. "I believe that the majority of Peekskill's residents share our democratic values and I look forward to their support in helping to re-elect this team of dedicated public servants who will continue to move our city forward."
