Denzel Washington weighs in on Mount Vernon mayoral race

July

Clearly my celebrity radar is faltering due to the mid-summer humidity. I just found out that last Wednesday, July 18, Denzel Washington was back in his hometown of Mount Vernon to support Clinton Young, his longtime friend and a Westchester County Legislator, who is running for mayor against incumbent Ernest Davis.

The candidates event was dubbed a “Celebrating the Positive” forum, which sounds just great … although it’s never easy to look on the bright side of topics like gang violence. Still, Washington’s presence—not to mention his $1 million donation to build a new Boys & Girls Club facility in the town—undoubtedly constituted at least one “positive.”
