Harckham, Burdick Bring Valuable Experience in Times of Uncertainty
During this time of deep uncertainty, when many of us wonder when or if things will ever return to normal, it is imperative that we elect proven leaders with the experience and “know-how to guide us through whatever lies ahead.
I urge residents to join me in voting to re-elect state Sen. Pete Harckham. Pete has helped us to secure critical funding for capital projects and he has proven to be a fierce advocate for the communities that he represents. In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Isaias, when the utilities were nowhere to be found, Pete fought hard to get Con Edison, Verizon and Altice to redirect their resources to the massive clean-up and restoration efforts required in northern Westchester. In addition to his strong track record of representing us in the Senate, Pete holds the same Hudson Valley values that are important to local residents: protecting reproductive freedom, promoting sensible gun safety legislation, promoting racial equity and fighting to secure our property values.
I have had the pleasure of serving alongside Bedford Town Supervisor Chris Burdick, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to vote for Chris in his campaign to replace Assemblyman David Buchwald, who is stepping down following eight years of distinguished service. I consider Chris a mentor and friend. I know that he understands the needs of municipalities and that he will bring his local government experience to bear on issues like funding for critical infrastructure projects such as sewers and roads.
During this time of crisis and uncertainty, we need steady hands at the helm. Experience matters. That’s why I will be voting to re-elect state Sen. Pete Harckham and to elect Chris Burdick to the Assembly, and I urge you to do the same.
