Dear Editor, I’ve known Ed Lachterman for more than a decade — not through politics, but through a shared passion for community service.

Over the years, I’ve seen him support countless local causes and organizations, including the Alliance for Safe Kids, My more

Dear Editor, I have lived in Yorktown for over eight years, and nothing has brought me greater joy than raising my two girls in this wonderful town. Over the years, I’ve learned that Yorktown is a truly special community—one that comes together in times of celebration and in times of need. And no one embodies that spirit of community more than Sergio Esposito. He truly is the face of this town. more

Yorktown isn’t just where I live, it’s who I am. more
