Dear Lucas --
I want to tell you about a good friend of mine who is running for the New York State Assembly: Victor Pichardo.
When I was elected to the New York State Senate back in 2010, I was faced with a very serious challenge. At that time, the 33rd Senate District had been plagued by a series of elected officials who violated the public trust. It was clear to me that I had a lot of work to do to reestablish that trust.
Unfortunately, we now have a similar situation in the 86th Assembly District - a district that falls almost entirely within my Senate District. The assemblymember was forced to resign, leaving constituents there without representation to this day. I believe that Victor Pichardo is precisely the type of person who can help restore the faith of the constituents of the 86th Assembly District.
I need your help to elect a person there who is committed to public service and understands the needs of our community. A person who has demonstrated, through action, that being elected to public office is first and foremost about serving the public and addressing the needs of the community.
This is why I am asking you to join me in supporting Victor Pichardo for the 86th Assembly District.
Will you help me by giving a contribution in support of Victor's campaign right now?
I have known Victor for 4 years and he has served as my Director of Community Affairs for over 18 months. In that time I have seen first-hand his work ethic and his strong commitment to our community. He has worked alongside hundreds of my constituents to provide them guidance and support to improve their lives and make the Bronx a better place.
I am confident that Victor will be a passionate advocate and a strong legislator for our community. Victor represents the change we need to make the Bronx a better place and for a more progressive and productive State Legislature.
Please, join me and support Victor with a contribution right now!
Sincerely,
Gustavo Rivera
