Today Anna Sterne announced her candidacy for Member of the New York State Assembly representing the 92nd District. A lifelong Democrat, Anna has dedicated 21 years of public service to the non-partisan organizations supporting and managing the schools in her community. She has served on the Dobbs Ferry School Board for eight years where she is known for working collaboratively and getting things done.
If elected Anna would be the only member of the New York State Assembly to have served on a suburban school board. Since school taxes represent about 2/3 of local property taxes in most of the 92nd Assembly District, Anna will bring the experience and insight to deal with this critical issue affecting every tax payer in Westchester County.
Ms. Sterne is the mother of four children — three daughters and a son — all of whom have attended public school.
Ms. Sterne is not a one issue candidate. She will also focus on health care, small business, the regulation and upgrade of Indian Point, and reform in Albany.
Professionally Anna is a nurse and has a Master of Public Administration. She knows the healthcare system firsthand. She has cared for the disabled and the elderly. Ms. Sterne has worked in hospitals and homecare and understands Medicaid and Medicare inside out. She will fight to maintain essential services for our neediest citizens. Anna will work to enforce vigorous regulation of the private health insurance companies and cap their premiums and profits.
As we all know, there are too many empty storefronts and offices in the 92nd District. Anna will legislate to lift the regulatory burden and tax surcharges levied on our small businesses.
Albany needs to support our schools by providing more funding and eliminating unfunded mandates. Ms. Sterne supports expanding the STAR program as a way of reducing school property taxes.
One of the toughest issues facing the New York State Assembly is legislative reform. To date, professional politicians have failed the electorate. The voices of the voters are stifled in Albany. New Yorkers want a real person who has real world experience to speak for them. Anna is that kind of political outsider who has worked successfully in the non-partisan world of school boards to affect real change. With her real world experience, Anna Sterne will bring new ideas and a fresh perspective to Albany.
