Two congressional candidates in the Hudson Valley are joining the calls for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

In a post on X, Westchester County Executive George Latimer says he supports President Joe Biden's temporary cease-fire that would bring home all of the Israeli hostages and get humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Latimer is challenging Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Democratic primary in the 16th Congessional District. Bowman has been calling for a cease-fire.

Meanwhile, in the Congessional District, Democrat MaryAnn Carr is also calling for an immediate cease-fire.

She is challenging Mondaire Jones in the June primary for the right to run against the incumbent Republican Mike Lawler.
