Mamaroneck, NY – On Sunday, September 19, Senator Suzi Oppenheimer kicked off her campaign for re-election with local supporters at her new campaign headquarters at 916 East Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck.
“This is a very important election,” said Senator Oppenheimer. “Voters are looking to build on the momentum of everything we’ve accomplished in the past two years. As Chair of the Senate Education Committee, I was chief sponsor of arguably the most important law to pass Albany this year—the 2010 Education Reform Law, which paved the way for New York State to earn $700 million in Race to the Top Funds. We also passed ‘Smart Growth’ legislation to protect our environment and property tax relief through local government cost-cutting. Yet there is still so much more we need to get done, including implementing a permanent state-level solution to Westchester’s property tax burden, and reforming state government by creating an independent redistricting commission and adopting strict campaign finance limits.”
Elected officials on hand included U.S. Congresswoman Nita Lowey, Assemblymember George Latimer (91st District), and Bill Hanauer, Mayor of the Village of Ossining.
Senator Oppenheimer represents the 37th Senate District, which includes the Cities of New Rochelle, Rye, and White Plains, and the Towns of Harrison, Mamaroneck, New Castle, North Castle, Ossining, Rye, and Scarsdale. To learn more about Suzi and her campaign, please visit:
