Dear Friends,

After you elected me to represent all of the residents of the 35th District in the New York State Senate, I continued to listen closely to you, my constituents - in Greenburgh, Mount Pleasant and the City of Yonkers - about the issues and concerns that were most important to you. Since November 2006, there has not been a day that I have not taken my obligation to you, or the trust you have bestowed upon me, very seriously.

Whether it's increasing funding for our schools, working for tax relief, protecting homeowners from foreclosure and predatory lenders, expanding access to affordable healthcare, preserving our environment or protecting women's reproductive rights, I've worked hard to get real results for our community and to bring real change to Albany. Much has been done, and much remains to be done as we pursue an aggressive agenda for change, opportunity and reform – and I look forward to the work ahead.

As the Democratic and Working Families Party candidate, I proudly stand with Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Congress Members Nita Lowey and Eliot Engel, and Assembly Members Richard Brodsky, Mike Spano and Gary Pretlow. In addition to the importance of the Presidential election, for the first time in New York State in decades, the Democrats are poised to win the Majority in the State Senate. My re-election is critical to this effort, and is inspired by your continued support and generosity.

I have been honored with the privilege of serving you in Albany during this time of unprecedented challenge and transformation.  I ask that you continue to stand with me for independence, opportunity, and real reform in New York State.

Thank you for your continued support!

Very truly yours,

Andrea
