I’m very proud to be represented by state Sen. Pete Harckham in District 40, and we need to make sure he is elected to another term in office in November.
Sen. Harckham has guts and integrity and he never stops working for his constituents. As someone whose family has been impacted by addiction, I’m especially impressed by his dedication to raising awareness of these issues. In his role as chair of the Senate Committee on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, he has introduced over 40 bills dealing with substance abuse disorder and addressing the continuing overdose crisis.
Pete is one of our most prolific members of the state Senate, and had 16 of his bills passed into law in the last year alone. This included passage of the Reproductive Health Act, ensuring that women in New York can make their own reproductive health choices, as well as passage of some of the toughest laws in the country to protect our drinking water sources and require zero-emissions vehicles by 2035.
Pete is the finest kind of politician. He is a humanitarian who understands that solid public service and the implementation of beneficial law ensures that our day-to-day lives and our future will be better. I’m constantly impressed by the accessibility and responsiveness of Sen. Harckham and his staff, and I look forward to having him serve my district for another two years.
