“Anthony and Jeff’s focus on inclusion, transparency, and building a long-term strategic plan for Chestnut Ridge is exactly how SAM-NY believes policy should be made across New York State,” said SAM-NY Chair Michael Volpe. “We are honored to endorse two individuals who are dedicated to bringing their community together and we encourage all residents of Chestnut Ridge to vote Shaut and Wasserman on March 19th.”

Shaut and Steven “Jeff” Wasserman. “We look forward to working with SAM-NY and showing all of New York on March 19th what can be accomplished when candidates listen to diverse views and work to build a future that everyone can be a part of.”
