A prominent group of elected officials at the national, state and county levels have endorsed Democrat Erika Pierce for Westchester County Legislator in District Two, verifying that Pierce's county legislative staff experience and longstanding commitment to community service make her the best choice to now serve on the Board of Legislators.

"I’m humbled by the support of these distinguished elected officials from across the state," says Pierce. "With their help and collaboration, I will work hard to advance legislation to expand upon the county government’s recent accomplishments and build Westchester back stronger than ever”.

The officials include US Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, US Representatives Mondaire Jones and Sean Patrick Maloney, NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, NY State Senators Pete Harckham and Shelley Mayer, NY State Assembly Member and former Bedford Town Supervisor Chris Burdick, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins and retiring Westchester County Legislator Kitley Covill, who Pierce is campaigning to succeed.
