A Column from the Desk of Assemblyman Karl Brabenec (R,C-Deerpark)
To the residents of the 98th Assembly District: thank you for once again putting your faith in me to be our community’s voice in Albany.
I am truly humbled and honored by your overwhelming support. Representing the wonderful people of Orange and Rockland counties has been one of the greatest honors of my life, and earning your support to continue this important work means more to me than words can express.
Throughout the last 12 years of public service to our state, my goal has remained the same. I was to be a representative of everyone in our district, regardless of whether they supported me or not. I will continue to fight for all residents of the Hudson Valley as I focus on bringing down costs, cutting utility bills and advocating for more responsible government.
For me, public service is more than a title or a fancy position. It’s an opportunity to connect with people, hear their concerns and help find solutions that make life better for everyone. For many New Yorkers, however, politics has become far too divisive. People feel alienated by the constant fighting and the lack of common sense in our state government. My goal is to change that. Throughout my time in office, I’ve spoken with thousands of constituents regardless of their background or party affiliation, and I’ve found that more often than not, we can find common ground.
As your assemblyman, I’ll continue to focus on the issues that matter to our community, including bringing down costs, protecting taxpayers, supporting working families and making the Hudson Valley’s voice heard in Albany. I’m excited to get back to work to advocate for our community and continue to advocate for common-sense policies.
Thank you once again to the people of the 98th Assembly District for putting your faith in me as your voice in Albany. Your support means the world to me, and I am proud to be able to represent our community as your favorite assemblyman!
