Harvey Epstein

"Vanessa Aronson represents the type of trusted leadership New Yorkers deserve in Albany. As a former member of both UFT and AFSA, she understands firsthand the power of organized labor and the importance of protecting working people, priorities that closely align with my work as Chair of the Consumer and Worker Protection Committee. Vanessa will be a strong partner in advancing policies that safeguard workers’ rights and hold bad actors accountable. Her leadership on animal welfare as former Senior Director of Strategy at the ASPCA will also make her a powerful ally in the fight to strengthen animal protections across New York. I’m proud to offer Vanessa my endorsement."
