Support Candidates Such as Harckham Who Fight for Justice and Equality

We are part of The Trust Project

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to protect our Constitutional freedoms. Her passing becomes another moment in American history never to be forgotten. Our nation and the world mourn her loss. How do we perpetuate her legacy? By voting, by urging others to vote, by voting for those upholding our Constitution, by voting for those protecting our American institutions, by voting for those with compassion wanting justice and equality for all.

The first step to take is in our own backyard: re-elect Pete Harckham for state senator in District 40. Sen. Harckham during his first year in office passed significant legislation in support of taxpayers, Indian Point workers, the environment and in combating substance abuse disorder. He pushed for legislation to provide crucial financial support for first responders, local law enforcement agencies, health care clinics, schools, extra funding for veterans’ programs, infrastructure, parks and libraries. His challenger, Rob Astorino, while serving as county executive, prompted a federal investigation based on allegations of corruption.  

The choice is clear: vote for the honest, just and diligent Pete Harckham for state senator who will continue to protect and work for our communities, ensuring hard-working New Yorkers are not forgotten – while voting for candidates who will uphold their oath to protect our Constitution and American democracy.
