"The Coalition for A Better SD 40 is proud to endorse Robert Kesten for this State Senate seat. For too long our district has faced a Republican incumbent who refuses to provide transparency and basic communication with constituents. Mr. Kesten will not only provide legislative transparency, but representation on key issues that are critical to our district such as; affordable healthcare, housing, education and gun reform. It's time for Albany to start working for the people of New York again and Robert Kesten will be at the forefront of that effort to build relationships and move our State forward." - Jenn Castelhano, co-lead of The Coalition for A Better SD40
