State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) hosted his annual spring children’s festival at St. Theresa’s Elementary School in the Bronx.
The Bronx Chronicle proudly and loudly endorses State Senator Jeff Klein in the upcoming Democratic primary election on September 13. Sen. Klein is an able, experienced and diligent state lawmaker. He is well-deserving of re-election as our representative in Albany.
Sen. Klein is being challenged by Alessandra Biaggi, a 31-year-old attorney, who was born in Mount Vernon and raised in Pelham, NY. Ms. Biaggi recently served in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Counsel’s Office and was the Deputy National Operations Director for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Aside from legal internships and fellowships, both jobs are her only forays in public service. At this time, we believe that Ms. Biaggi needs broader political and community experience before she can ably represent the interests of Bronx residents and her Westchester county neighbors.
Unlike Ms. Biaggi, Jeff Klein has three decades of experience in politics, law and public service. First elected to the State Senate in 2004, Jeff Klein has built a reputation as a committed, effective and trusted public servant, who has championed and passed landmark legislation for the health, welfare and economic prosperity of residents in the 34th District, and all New Yorkers. He presently serves as Deputy Minority Leader for the Senate Democratic Conference.
In the Democratic primary on September 13, The Bronx Chronicle urge voters in the 34th senate district to cast their votes for Sen. Klein because Jeff has stood up for labor and has passed life-changing legislation for New York workers and their families. From passing the $15 Minimum Wage to Paid Family Leave, to passing legislation that staves off the devastating affects of the US Supreme Court Janus decision, Sen. Klein has fought to advance and protect workers’ rights to fair wages, benefits and safe work conditions.
