From my early days as a community activist, to the years I spent working with Congressman Serrano, I have seen The Bronx ignored too many times.
I am running for New York State Assembly because I know we deserve better. We need a representative who will work to ensure that our communities are at the forefront of healthy, sustainable, community-oriented growth.
We are living in trying political times. Now more than ever we need voices that will fight for the things that matter to us everyday. From women's rights to environmental justice, we have to stand up and fight back against the political tides that threaten to erode progress through all levels of government.
I want to step up and be a voice for our communities. I am ready to demand that our neighborhoods get their fair share, that our students and families be prioritized, and that New York State remains the flagship for tolerant, thoughtful policies and communities.
I hope I can count on your support in this fight for our values!
With gratitude,
Amanda Septimo
