Yonkers Insider: Letter to the Editor by Julie Scarpino.

Dear Friend,

My name is Julie Scarpino and Westchester District Attorney Tony Scarpino is my father.  As Election Day approaches on June 23rd, I am grateful for this opportunity to share an inside glimpse into the man who raised me and why I am confident he deserves your vote to continue serving as DA. 

With 37 years of public service, my father leads with integrity. He prioritizes what is right over what is easy, in the face of politicians who prioritize personal gain over constituents and a racist President who employs hate-provoking rhetoric. As DA, he has impacted real change for Westchester, including a conviction integrity unit, emphasizing treatment for those struggling with substance abuse, and tirelessly prosecuting serious crimes of violence.  I am immensely proud of his work as DA, though he is too humble to let us dwell on his achievements.

My sisters and I are a reflection of our father’s integrity and sacrifice.  Our parents worked tirelessly each day as public servants and devoted each evening to their children—completing homework; juggling carpools; drying tears in moments of disappointment and encouraging us to persevere to achieve our goals.  My father led by example, demonstrating day-in and day-out that integrity requires pursuit of what is right over what is easy.  My father (and mother!) raised three children into strong, independent women. 

My father leads the DA’s Office with that same humility and integrity, pursuing justice for the citizens of Westchester County.  As a father, he championed his children. If you re-elect DA Tony Scarpino, he will continue to be a champion for Westchester.

Please vote to re-elect my Dad, Westchester DA Tony Scarpino, in the Democratic Primary on June 23rd.  

Sincerely,

 

Julie Scarpino
