Dem PAC attack on W’chester exec
ALBANY — With just five days to go before the election, the state Democratic Party is unveiling a hard-hitting digital ad seeking to tie Westchester County Republican Executive Rob Astorino to President Trump and top conservative donor Robert Mercer.
Mercer recently donated $1 million to a super PAC that is running ads supporting Astorino against his Democratic opponent, state Sen. George Latimer.
The new state Democratic-funded ad links Astorino to Mercer and his daughter Rebekah Mercer, Trump and alt-right news site Breitbart founder and former Trump aide Stephen Bannon.
“They want Donald Trump running Westchester County through his buddy Rob Astorino,” the ad says. “Fighting ultra-conservatives in Washington is hard enough, so don’t let Donald Trump bring his right-wing White House to Westchester.”
