Proud to Support Three Outstanding Democratic Candidates

We are part of The Trust Project

Pete Harckham deserves to remain our state senator. He’s been unifying and strong in his careful and attentive governance of the dismantling of Indian Point and working for the well-being and care of the Indian Point workers and the surrounding community. He fought hard against the opioid epidemic, and has fought for an increase in school aid, more funds for veterans’ programs, first responders and law enforcement agencies, and secured millions of dollars for clean water. Pete has served our community well, bringing in thousands of pounds of food for our needy neighbors with his many food drives.

Stephanie Keegan is running for Assembly in the 94th District. She is a mom, former educator and military advocate. Her son, Daniel, served honorably in Afghanistan for two years, returning home with PTSD. He needed help and never got it, waitlisted too long to be seen and helped by veterans’ resources, he tragically passed away. So, Stephanie went to Washington D.C. and met with every politician possible to see how she could help veterans and make a difference. She made alliances with top brass and gained political clout and now wants to bring all that she’s learned back here to serve us. Tenacious and empathetic, she will help veterans and first responders, children and families, the environment and bring better quality businesses to our towns. 

Mondaire Jones is running for the 17th Congressional District seat. Raised by a single mother in Rockland County, Mondaire has always worked hard. An attorney, activist and champion of children and working families, he supports a living wage and the Green New Deal, which will provide 20 million good paying jobs. He will fight for quality health care for all and for restoring the SALT deduction for homeowners. He will fight for the rights of women and the LGBTQ community. He is supported by the American Federation of Teachers and the New York State United Teachers Union and has been endorsed by Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and 45 local leaders.
