Lubavitcher Menachem Raitport Will Be On The Ballot For New York’s 9th Congressional District

by CrownHeights.info

Lubavitcher businessman Menachem Raitport will be on the ballot in the coming election for New York’s 9th Congressional district, a recently redrawn district that includes the entire Crown Heights, Flatbush, and much of Boro Park.

Running under the conservative party, Raitport is planning on running in the Republican ballot, where is likely to find solid backing.

Raitport’s previous campaigns found significant success, with him snagging over 70,000 votes in his 2021 run for public office. In another election in 2010, Raitport garnered a solid 20% of the district’s vote, which in New York City, a Democratic stronghold, is considered significant.

“Everyone should make sure to go out to vote in the November 5th election,” Raitport told CrownHeights.info. “Vote Trump and Republican down the ballot.”

Raitport is facing Democratic incumbent Yvette D. Clarke, who has been endorsed by the Crown Heights Political Action Committee despite her anti-Israel stance in the ongoing war in Gaza.

    Our community good friend Mendy is trying to help out our community in Crown Heights, and all the other Jewish areas.

    And ask a normal question?

      I too was just convinced not to vote for him. What exactly is being hidden about his past? Background checks are fair before even hiring a janitor! If I can’t ask about his past job, I don’t want him!

    • Sure…

      You were “going to vote for him” but are put off by a random commenter on a website. Whom you have no idea whether he’s a “friend” of Mr. Raitport, or a saboteur. Suuure. Really, would it be so hard to call him up and ask your questions directly? Or just admit that you vote for who will give you bennies, and to heck with Crown Heights or Jewry at large.

    Can we focus on the issues that voters care about like stopping “Open Borders”, school education, keeping boys out of girls sports, foreign policy , etc
    FYI : Don’t put words into candidates’ mouths unless they day them.
    Mendy: send out a mailing on how migrants are taking jobs that should be going to current residents- Build a Wall –
