I just received an endorsement for reelection to the State Senate from the Bedford – Lewisboro – Pound Ridge Record-Review. Here it is:
“Pete Harckham is running for a third term. Due to redistricting, if elected, he will represent the Town of Bedford, but drop Pound Ridge, while continuing to serve Lewisboro, where he lives. These changes have no bearing on our support for his reelection. His legislative record is outstanding. He has co-sponsored major bills supporting advances in substance abuse treatment and protecting women’s reproductive rights. He is attuned to the heavy burdens the economy is now imposing on New Yorkers, and can point to legislation he has supported that deliver tax cuts and targeted tax relief to seniors. He also has been a leader on environmental issues, an advocate for victims of domestic violence and accelerating the transition to clean energy in transportation and other areas. He has directed state funds to study water quality in lakes and to purchase fire rescue equipment and a new police vehicle in Lewisboro. Mr. Harckham is the Democratic and Working Families Party candidate.
“Speaking at a League of Women Voters forum on Oct. 17, despite their platform differences, Mr. Harkham and his opponent...share common ground on a number of issues, such as a woman’s right to choose and the moral imperative for human treatment of immigrants…
“In the end, we find ourselves agreeing with Mr. Harckham’s statement also made at the forum—namely, that in these challenging times, ‘Experience matters.’ The state senator, who also served on the Westchester County Board of Legislators and in several statewide roles, has the experience needed to serve another term.”
I truly appreciate these kind and humbling words. But this campaign is not over yet.
Thank you.
