New York Working Families Party Stands with Kisha Skipper and Calls for Transparency and Accountability Following Yonkers Forum Incident

The New York Working Families Party (NYWFP), a coalition of community organizations, labor unions and individual members, comprising over 257,000 New Yorkers, released the following statement:

“The Working Families Party stands in solidarity with Kisha Skipper —the Democratic and Working Families Party candidate for the Westchester County Board of Legislators 15th District— following the troubling events that unfolded at a candidate forum in Yonkers last week, where she was detained by the Yonkers Police Department following an altercation at the event, and was later released without charges.

We believe in accountability for all candidates, but questions about someone’s record should happen from the forum’s stage, not the bathroom. We are deeply troubled that Kisha Skipper was harassed while using a public restroom.

No candidate, especially a woman candidate of color, should be subjected to intimidation or harassment while participating in the democratic process.

We call on the Yonkers Police Department to provide full transparency regarding this situation, the decision-making process employed by responding officers, and the current status of the investigation.”

TOMMORROW - MONDAY OCTOBER 12 - You’re invited to join the Honorable Jamaal Bowman, Working Families Party members, and neighbors from across Westchester in support of Leslye Oquendo-Thomas for Westchester County Legislator.

Leslye Oquendo-Thomas was raised by a single mother in a Spanish-speaking household in the Bronx, Leslye grew up in public housing and experienced firsthand the challenges facing working families and those who rely on public services. She went on to become a first-generation college graduate, earning a degree in Political Science from SUNY Buffalo and a Master’s in Law and Diplomacy from Tufts University’s Fletcher School.
Most recently, she spent more than 12 years working in the Yonkers City Council, including as Chief of Staff to Councilwoman Corazon Pineda-Isaac. In that role, she worked directly with residents on housing issues, evictions, social services, and access to government resources. When Leslye decided to run for office without the permission of the Yonkers political machine, she was fired from her City job!
