Sarah Anker Takes the Plunge for NYS Senate

Anker offered a multitude of reasons for seeking election to the State House during an interview this week. "What prompted me to run for the First Senate District is that there's so much more to do, and there are so many resources out there that are available to our residents, and I want to make sure that they're receiving the help they need," Anker said. "I represent Long Island values; there's more that can be done to help our seniors and our veterans." Anker, who chaired Suffolk County's Opioid Addiction Prevention Support Advisory Panel added, "The feds and the state are doing a lot, but both levels of government need to step up to do more." Other issues Anker said need to be tackled include taxes and state education aid, with local affordable housing topping the list. "Young people are finding it difficult to find housing that they can afford, and seniors can't afford to downsize," she stated.
