Councilman Sergio Esposito
By Dan Murphy
Yonkerstimes.com has learned that Yorktown Councilman and Deputy Supervisor Sergio Esposito will be challenging State Senator Pete Harckham in the 40th District, which includes Northern Westchester and Putnam Counties. A flyer was posted on social media with the republican candidates collecting signatures and Esposito’s name is the GOP’s candidate for State Senate in D-40.
Sergio Esposito is currently serving as Town Councilman and Deputy Supervisor. In addition to his leadership roles in local government, he is a dedicated first responder, serving as a Volunteer Deputy Sheriff with the Westchester County Department of Public Safety.
Councilman Esposito is proud to call Yorktown home and has lived here for over 30 years. Esposito raised his three children here; he has grown his business here and has contributed to the well-being of the community. Councilman Esposito has been a champion of the youth in Yorktown supporting and promoting an array of initiatives both in our community and in our school districts.
Previously, Esposito served as President of the Yorktown Chamber of Commerce. An immigrant from Italy, he also runs his own specialty information technology business. His involvement extends beyond business— he was the secretary of the Town’s Ethics Committee, and a respected member of the Yorktown Heights Volunteer Fire Department. Among his proudest contributions is his partnership with Camp Sunshine, which has raised funds to support families with children facing life-threatening illnesses by providing critical help and counseling.
Esposito got the most votes out of all of the republicans on the ballot in Yorktown last year.
Senator Harckham is serving his fourth two-year term. He has defeated incumbent State Senator Terrence Murphy in 2018, former County Executive Rob Astorino in 2020, and Gina Arena in 2022 and 2024.
Republicans we spoke to are excited about Esposito stepping forward to challenge Sen. Harckham.
