To my friends and neighbors in the 90th Assembly District, and throughout Yonkers and Westchester, I write this note to close out the election season. First and foremost, if the love of family can make a man rich, you can call me Elon Musk!
My lovely wife, daughter and son, along with my extended family, gave me the strength to carry on an
exhausting campaign every day. Similarly, my sisters and brothers in the Indian community and Asian American Republican Committee were with me and carried my campaign every step of the way with their love, their financial support, their hard work and their understanding of the issues and how they affect our community.
To Nader Sayegh, I say congratulations on winning yet another term in Albany. I pray that when he is sworn in again, he will be mindful of who he serves. He was re-elected by a majority of voters in the 90th district. Nader Sayegh is responsible to do the right thing not for himself or Governor Hochul or Andrea Stewart-Cousins.
He is not there to be of service to New York City politicians, special interest lobbyists, or his fellow democrats in the supermajority. He is beholden to you: Yonkers families, to Yonkers first responders, Yonkers veterans, Yonkers teachers, Yonkers seniors Yonkers legal immigrants and first generation Americans, and the Yonkers disabled community.
Of course I am very disappointed in the outcome of the election, but I am energized and so very grateful for the amazing support I received from a record number of voters who believed in our platform of lower taxes, safer streets, common sense immigration laws and funding Yonkers schools. I remain proud of our campaign that did not fear or engage in drama or hyperbole, but rather stuck to the facts of my opponent’s record and the needs of the greater Yonkers community.
Now, I will return to my work and my family and friends, with an eye to the blessed occasion of my daughter’s wedding next spring. In the meantime, if you see me at the store or in church, please say hi. I promise not to hand you a palm card.
Sincerely, John Isaac
