Rep. Latimer Announces Citizen Task Forces

December 1, 2025 Press Release Resident Experts Will Assemble to Make Recommendations on Legislation WHITE PLAINS, NY – Today, U.S. Representative George Latimer (NY-16) announced the creation of seven citizen task forces. Each task force is comprised of residents who live or work in New York’s 16 th District and chaired by a leader with expertise in the respective issue areas. The task force chairs will oversee organizational meetings with the aim to make recommendations to Rep. Latimer and his staff on legislation, funding, and administration policies that can benefit the residents of the 16 th District. The task forces will focus on the following seven areas: Energy & Environment Infrastructure Intergovernmental Veterans Affairs Foreign Policy & Military Affairs Jobs & Economy Social Services “We are fortunate here in Westchester and the Bronx to have many talented and engaged people whose knowledge and expertise can benefit all our communities. We have assembled seven working groups with diverse professional backgrounds, and we are going to give them a chance to be part of how the sausage gets made in Washington,” said Rep. Latimer. The task force Chair will convene an organizational meeting within the next 30 days and determine with Rep. Latimer’s staff the issues within the task force’s purview. “When people think of Washington, they think of a concept in a faraway place that is out of reach and out of touch with everyday Americans. That is not how I have operated in my decades in public service. I have always sought community involvement and spend every day not in Washington meeting with residents in Westchester and the Bronx. Therefore, I am excited to bring the legislative process to my district,” Latimer concluded.
