I am speaking about the leaders and advocates in my home district. These individuals have taken on that most traditional of American values, which is active citizenship in matters of public policy.

I recognize Margaret Bradbury, Kim Snyder, and Rhiannon Navin in New Rochelle; Jenny Geer in Mamaroneck; Suki van Dijk in Rye; Khris Tahmin in Eastchester; Jenny Bernhard and Liz Scafidi in White Plains; Gaby Bordwin and Marjorie Hsu in the Rivertowns; Eileen O'Connor and Elizabeth de Bethune in Yonkers; Susan Van Dolsen of Harrison; and Shannon Powell of Mamaroneck. The work they are doing has earned our respect and deserves our praise.”
