Five Democrats are now courting party support to run against freshman Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth in what will likely be a shortened schedule for seeking the nomination.
The newest candidate is Anne Jacobs Moultrie, a union leader and registered nurse from the Town of Woodbury. Jacobs Moultrie, a vice president of 1199 Service Employees International Union, said on Wednesday that she plans to step down from her job on Friday to run for Congress and will formally announce her candidacy on Feb. 11.

The Democrat who’s been campaigning longest to unseat her is Rich Becker, a cardiologist and town councilman from Cortlandt in Westchester County. Becker announced his candidacy last July, followed four months later by Wappingers Falls Mayor Matt Alexander.
Tuxedo Park Mayor Tom Wilson joined the race last month. And appearing with him, Becker and Alexander at a Democratic forum in Peekskill last week was Buchanan resident Duane Jackson, who has yet to make a formal campaign announcement. Jackson is known as the street vendor who alerted police to a terrorist bomb in Times Square in 2010.
