The SMART Transportation Division recently endorsed Siela Bynoe in the Democratic primary for New York State Senate District 6. As a tireless advocate for the working families of Long Island, Legislator Bynoe has demonstrated the dedication and strength needed to represent the community effectively in Albany.

“Siela is truly one of us—a 50-year resident of her community, a stalwart ally of organized labor, and a fighter with a deep and authentic understanding of Long Islanders and their concerns,” said Anthony Simon, SMART GO-505 General Chairman. “We need her voice and her strength representing us in the halls of the Capitol.”

The members of the SMART Transportation Division, including conductors, track workers, building and bridge workers, special service attendants, track supervisors, car repairmen, and car appearance personnel on the Long Island Rail Road, are integral to the 6th District. They are highly attuned to the unique concerns and needs of the community, given their daily presence across the district.

“Throughout her career in public service, Siela has impressively demonstrated both a granular knowledge of the issues and the legislative skill needed to make complex and ambitious legislation a reality,” continued Simon. “There are plenty of candidates who are skilled at talking the talk—but Siela walks the walk, leaning in on the hard work necessary to deliver for her constituents. We know she will be a fantastic state senator and look forward to working with her to build a brighter future for everyone in the 6th District and throughout Long Island.”

"I am beyond grateful to receive the endorsement of the SMART Transportation Division," said Siela Bynoe. "Their commitment to the community and dedication to improving the lives of working families aligns perfectly with my vision for District 6. Together, we will work to ensure that the voices of Long Islanders are heard and that their needs are met."

Siela Bynoe’s campaign platform focuses on fighting for the needs of Nassau families, protecting women’s reproductive health, reducing maternal mortality, enhancing educational opportunities, ensuring community safety, and working to save the Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC). Her comprehensive agenda aligns with her commitment to addressing the key issues that impact her constituents directly.
