Astorino’s Has a Proven Track Record That is Needed in State Senate

We are part of The Trust Project

As an immigrant and American citizen residing in Westchester County, I am writing this letter to express my desire and hope that Rob Astorino be elected to the state Senate from the 40th District.

I feel that during these turbulent times we need an individual like Rob Astorino to be our state senator. As county executive, he worked hard to reduce property taxes, encouraged businesses to invest in our state and served the people during his public service. He is an individual with a proven record demonstrating he shares our values or government fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, public safety and prosperity for its citizens – all of its citizens – and no one can deny that Rob Astorino didn’t build bridges and bring people together.

Currently, we need to have a balanced democracy in our state, one in which one party does not simply steamroll over the other. The Republicans may be a minority in the state, the ideas and values of hard-working Americans should be heard. We must stop demonizing people with different views as we live in the country whose cornerstone is the First Amendment.

Let us send Rob Astorino on Nov. 3 to Albany, someone who will work to bring people together to get things done and someone who will work hard for us.
