STANDING UP FOR OUR SENIORS AND FAMILIES
Councilmember Anthony Merante has been protecting our community and standing up for taxpayers since the day he was elected. He is committed to making Yonkers more affordable and keeping families together by keeping taxes low. Sadly, many seniors are being driven out of Yonkers by constant property tax hikes. Young families rely on grandparents for childcare, love, and the support only they can provide. Without them, many families could not afford to stay in Yonkers. That is why Councilmember Anthony Merante voted NO four years in a row on city budgets that raised property taxes by 15 percent. He listens to constituents and works tirelessly to solve their problems.

Re-elect 6th District Councilmember Anthony Merante
VOTE ROW “B”
EARLY VOTING: OCT. 25 – NOV. 2 | ELECTION DAY: NOV. 4
