βI am proud and honored to have received the endorsement from the APAβ stated State Assembly candidate Bill Villanova.
βThere should never be anything political about the welfare of our families and the safety of our communities. Law Enforcement Officers understand teamwork, overcoming obstacles and the importance of bringing safety and security to the neighborhoods we live in. This is similar to the NYS Senate and Assembly; if there is any chance for government reform, tax and mandate relief and economic development, it will only happen when we can reform Albany and send the career politicians packing... and Iβm honored the police of Westchester think Iβm the man for the job!... Mr. Villanova, concluded.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
