This web site represents a rebirth of the Take18NY blog. We hope it will contribute to a civil discussion of the issues that are important to our government, especially in the geographical region of New York’s 18th Congressional District, an area in the mid-Hudson River Valley that includes all of Orange and Putnam Counties, and portions of Dutchess and Westchester Counties.

For initial suggestions about how to contribute your article or post, please see our “About” page.

Take18NY is a voluntary association of progressive political activists from in and around New York’s 18th Congressional District. This is an area in the Hudson River Valley comprising Orange County, Putnam County, and portions of Dutchess and Westchester Counties.
