Dem PAC attack on W’chester exec

- Kenneth Lovett

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.”
