"Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino (R) is the clear choice over incumbent Sen. Peter Harckham, who keeps having to apologize for his campaign’s l...ies. Where Harckham has enabled the no-bail, tax-hike crazies in the Legislature, Astorino will be a force for fiscal and criminal-justice sanity." - NY Post See more

Too many of our elected leaders’ policing policies exist in a fantasy world. This is what the reality looks like.

My opponent Peter Harckham has repeatedly denied that his "No Cash Bail" law has caused a spike in crime. Sheriffs, police, and prosecutors all around our regi...on and state - from both parties - beg to disagree, as does the evidence. It's a dangerous law and it needs to be repealed and we need to invest in our police - not defund them. I've been endorsed by over 30 police unions because I have a plan to keep us safe, protect taxpayers and rebuild our state. Harckham has said he is "proud" of his "No Cash Bail" law and in this video he says we should hold him "accountable." You can hold him accountable for reckless and dangerous laws like these by voting for me for State Senate. Thank you. See more

In a recent ad, Peter Harckham has shamelessly tried to trick voters into thinking law enforcement has endorsed him. WE HAVE NOT! Harckham’s no cash bail law has made our communities much less safe! His votes related to public safety and law & order are abysmal. Rob Astorino has been endorsed by nearly every police association in the State. That includes the men and women who patrol the communities in NY State’s 40th District. There is only one law & order candidate for NY State’s 40th District and that is Rob Astorino!

Sergeant Harold Lloyd Preston is a 41 year veteran of the Houston Police Department. He graduated from HPD Academy Class #86 in 1979. It is with great sadness ...that we share - our brother Sergeant Preston was shot and killed in the line of duty this morning, while responding to a domestic violence call. Another HPD officer was shot multiple times, but will survive his injuries. Please pray for the family and friends of Sergeant Harold Preston. Please pray for our department and our city. We are in mourning for our fallen brother. Thank you for your 41 years of service and your leadership, Sergeant Preston. You will always be remembered and we will never forget your sacrifice, in service to others. Rest in peace, sir. #HonorIntegrityRespect

I'm honored to have been endorsed by over 30 police unions all across our region and state. I'll fight to repeal Peter Harckham's dangerous "No Cash Bail" law ...that has wreaked havoc in our communities and made us all less safe. And I'll work to invest in our police -- not defund them. I'll stop Harckham's new bill (Senate Bill 2144) that makes any inmate eligible for parole once they turn 55 years of age and serve at least 15 years, regardless of how many people they've killed or raped. And I'll fight to repeal Harckham's discovery reforms which now allows accused criminals to visit the scene of a crime (even a rape victim's home) and gives defense lawyers the names and personal information of all victims and witnesses within a few weeks of the arrest, opening the door for witness intimidation or preventing witnesses from even coming forward. I believe in criminal justice reform, but my opponent has gone well beyond anything most would consider fair and reasonable and that's why the New York City PBA has said that Peter Harckham has "betrayed his constituents" by too often siding with the rights of criminals over the rights of the law-abiding public. I'll restore the proper balance, protect our communities and stand with our police and law abiding citizens.

Definitely worth the read.

Another one man crime wave. A byproduct of Sen. Pete Harckham’s bail reform. Vote for Rob Astorino in NYS Senate District 40 to help restore law and order.

Members of the APA met to proudly endorse Rob Astorino in his race for NYS Senate’s 40th District!
