I am writing to support Pete Harckham’s campaign for re-election as state senator for District 40.

Pete is exactly the type of hands-on advocate that we need, and I want to make sure people are aware of the positive impact his efforts have already had here in our district. Pete has been a state senator since 2019. Since then, Pete has delivered significant accomplishments to our community in areas that are important to so many families in Westchester, ranging from women’s rights to the environment. For example, he helped pass the Reproductive Health Act, which will ensure all women in New York will be able to make their own reproductive health choices. 

On gun safety, another critical issue, he facilitated increased funding for law enforcement and gun violence interruption. Initiatives like this from truly concerned and responsible politicians like Pete will help keep our communities safe.

He is also focused on preserving the environment, which will benefit us as well as future generations. His team passed landmark legislation to require zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Further, he worked to protect clean drinking water sources and passed the toughest climate protection law in the nation.

There are considerable achievements that, due to his tireless efforts, benefit the entire community. Please join me in voting for Pete Harckham on Election Day so that we can all look forward to further progress here in District 40.
