Here are a few words from our community members on why they support Andrew, and why you should support him too:

“I support Andrew Gounardes because I know he cares about the day to day concerns of his constituents and advocates for our needs as our state senator.” 

— Gina Napolitano, Marine Park resident

“When Andrew supports a bill, I know that bill is good. He’s thoughtful, he’s meticulous, he’s honest, and he knows this community back and front. We need more trustworthy straight shooters like him in politics.”

— Matt Kelly, Dyker Heights resident

“Andrew has always worked selflessly for this community. His office jumped into action during the worst of the pandemic to distribute food and make wellness check-in calls for seniors in the community. He doesn't waste time pointing fingers. He cares and it shows.”

— Liz Donohue, Bay Ridge resident 

“Senator Gounardes is the most thorough politician I know. He truly deep dives into every issue before choosing what he supports and doesn’t support, and he makes sure his community understands his line of thinking. That’s the kind of politician you know you can trust.” 

— Amir Shani, Bay Ridge resident 

“Andrew says what he means and means what he says. There’s no hot air or pandering. And if I ever disagree with him on an issue, I know he’ll take the time to fully hear me out -- and that’s so rare in politics. He’s always trying to do right by his community.” 

— Irene Chu, Bensonhurst resident

“Since day one, Andrew has remained committed to putting his community first. While in office, he has gone above and beyond in reaching out and working with every part of the district to ensure that everyone’s needs are met. He takes representing us seriously, and he’s the kind of elected official we need in Albany advocating for us.”

— Michael Sutherland, Gerritsen Beach resident
