Congressman Eliot Engel, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Assemblymember Amy Paulin jointly urged Westchester residents to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6 for Alessandra Biaggi, the Democratic Party candidate for State Senate in District 34. ”

Alessandra is going to do a tremendous job as our new State Senator,” Congressman Engel said. “I’ve spoken and met with her several times already, and I can tell that she will be a great partner in government. As elected officials, whether it be at the federal, state, or local level, the fight to advance our progressive values is at the forefront of everything we do, and I look forward to working together to better our shared communities in the Bronx and Westchester which we are both so fortunate to represent.”

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “As a former State Senator working under Republican control of the chamber, I can’t stress to you enough the importance of getting out the vote for Alessandra Biaggi. We need Alessandra and the rest of the Democrats running to win so we can finally have control of the New York State Senate. In Albany, Alessandra will work with her colleagues to protect voting rights, a women’s right to make choices regarding her own body, and strengthen environmental protections – three issues that are under assault from Donald Trump and the Republicans nationwide. Make sure you bring a friend – or 10 – to the polls and get out the vote for Alessandra Biaggi.”

Assemblymember Paulin said, “Alessandra Biaggi has my full support on Election Day. She has the intelligence, the persistence, and the empathy to make a real difference on the critical issues facing our communities, including reducing gun violence, making healthcare more affordable, holding perpetrators of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence accountable, and standing up for women, children, and families. I can’t wait to work together with her on behalf of our constituents in Pelham and on policies to help all New Yorkers.”

“I thank Rep. Engel, County Executive Latimer and Assemblymember Paulin for their important support,” Biaggi said. “I am campaigning every day so that I can win in November and join them in working for the people of Westchester and the Bronx.”
