Serino Has Always Been There for Her Constituents

We are part of The Trust Project

I’m a veteran and a senior and nothing about this pandemic has been easy. I’m a social guy, used to people coming and going from my home that I’m fortunate to share with my daughter and her family. In a typical week, we get visitors almost every night, and I’ve never been dependent on anyone for anything. The lockdown and the isolation it’s created hasn’t been easy and I just want to publicly thank state Sen. Sue Serino for always being there for guys like me and my family.

Last weekend, I attended the drive-thru senior event she held with the Office for the Aging and a drive-thru veterans appreciation dinner she put on with the great guys from Vet2Vet. I’ve been going to these events for years and I was so happy that Sue got creative to make them happen for us again this year, at a time when they were more important than ever. 

While most people have been retreating into their homes, it’s clear that Sue has been out there every day helping to keep people safe and working for us. As a Korean War veteran, I spent a lot of years around politicians, and I know that most make a lot of promises they never seem to keep. Not Sue. She’s always there for us, no matter what challenges come up along the way.

That’s why I’ll be proud to vote for Sue again this year and I hope others will do the same.
