Marty Golden has earned our wholehearted endorsement for reelection as our State Senator.

It seems these days that politics – at every level of government – is too noisy and too distracted. Extreme voices drown out common sense, and actually getting things done matters less and less. This unfortunate state of current affairs is why it is vitally important to support Marty Golden for reelection to the New York State Senate.

For those that value the hard work of building consensus while never losing sight of our shared core values, Marty Golden is the best candidate.

For those who believe investing in education for all of our children in all of our schools, including an Education or Scholarship Tax Credit alongside supporting public schools, Marty Golden is the right candidate.

For those who understand the importance of balance in government, particularly now with extreme policies being advocated for in City Hall, Marty Golden deserves your vote.

And for those who appreciate the importance of experience, Marty Golden – a former Police Officer who was a New York City Councilman before election to the State Senate – is the right choice.

Marty Golden’s distinguished career as a New York City Police Officer provided him with the knowledge and experience to make our streets safer. Senator Marty Golden worked to strengthen the Megan’s Law sex offender registry and expand the DNA databank to include all persons convicted of a felony and certain misdemeanors. In December 2005, Senator Golden sponsored the laws to increase penalties against gun-runners and those that injure or kill police officers. In 2006, Senator Golden wrote a tough law that mandates prison for the possession of a single loaded illegal firearm. Senator Golden’s bills were a priority of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

A recitation of the community groups and social service providers Senator Golden supports, and the constituent concerns his office has helped with, could fill an entire newspaper. Better, for this endorsement, to highlight his authenticity, his dedication to public service, his insistence on being evaluated on accomplishments rather than talk, and his deep understanding of our community. For all these reasons, Marty Golden has earned our wholehearted endorsement for reelection as our State Senator.
