Vedat Gashi | Vedat Gashi for County Legislator

Vedat Gashi was born in Kosovo and raised in the Bronx. He is raising his family in Yorktown.

Vedat’s experiences abroad made him appreciate the value of the strong democratic foundation in the United States. Upon returning home to Yorktown, Vedat followed in the footsteps of his family’s small business success in real estate by opening up his own small business, in the form of a real estate legal practice, in Yorktown Heights and in the Bronx.

As Chair of Appropriations in Westchester County, Vedat has continuously worked to build support for expanded services while keeping taxes low, and he will continue to do so in his next term.

Vedat will always stand up for working families and fight back against burdensome tax increases while ensuring quality public services are available to every resident.

## Standing up for our Working Families
Vedat understands that our working families are the backbone of the economy, and he has spent the last four years working to improve job opportunities and working conditions, while cutting taxes to help bring down the cost of living. Vedat has and will continue to invest in our working families, thereby accelerating economic development by increasing the public resources available without allowing for an increase in his constituent’s tax burdens.

## Ensuring Funding and Access to Necessary Services
Every Westchester resident deserves access to quality affordable childcare, healthcare, education, and housing. Vedat has been and will continue to ensure no family is forced to choose between such fundamentals or paying their bills.

Vedat and his fellow legislators have already passed legislation providing free therapeutic services for our youth and increasing funding for accessible childcare, expanding assistance for food insecurity programs, and providing affordable housing for seniors, all while cutting property taxes each and every year.

Board Chairman Vedat Gashi (D- New Castle, Ossining, Somers, Yorktown) said, “I'm proud of the work this Board accomplished last night. We're creating homes so seniors can afford to stay in Westchester and fixing roads and bridges to keep commuters safe. We're also investing in the County’s Hilltop Hanover Farm and Environmental Center right in my district—planning upgrades so it can continue connecting families to fresh, locally grown food and supporting environmental restoration projects.
We continue to prioritize residents’ needs today while planning for tomorrow.”

The Westchester County Board of Legislators approved three major initiatives last night: building affordable apartments for seniors in New Rochelle, upgrading a popular Yorktown farm that feeds families and teaches environmental conservation, and repairing heavily travelled roads and bridges in Yonkers.

## Standing Against Hate and Anti-Semitic Acts
Vedat and his family fled Kosovo as a refugee, and he knows what it’s like to experience targeted hate just for who you are.
Vedat will continue to stand up against hate, condemning the recent anti-semitic acts in Westchester and all injustices towards the many diverse communities in Westchester. He’ll continue to work to protect all residents, denouncing acts of hate and working to uplift all of his constituents, regardless of religion, race, gender, or any other aspect of their identity.

Legislators approved amendments to the County’s capital budget and authorized $9.1 million in additional bonds to fund four critical infrastructure projects in Yonkers. The work will include rehabilitation of Tuckahoe Road and three bridges spanning the Bronx River and Bronx River Parkway.

## Investing in Our Infrastructure
Investing in our infrastructure is vital to strengthening our communities, creating good-paying jobs, and keeping us all safe.

This means improving our water systems, repairing our crumbling roads, and strengthening buildings and bridges, all while building our climate resilience through times of uncertainty. Vedat knows it is time we properly invest in our communities to improve access to our public resources and protect every resident from avoidable safety issues and expensive repairs.

## Addressing Climate Change
Vedat will fight to protect our environment and work to reduce noise, air, water, and ground pollution. Vedat and his fellow legislators are focused on addressing this crisis, and have already passed legislation to reduce single use plastic, encourage and empower local municipalities to maintain a renewable energy infrastructure, all while recognizing equity and historical environmental injustices to inspire fair decision-making.

Every Westchester resident deserves to drink clean water and breathe fresh air, and Vedat will work to preserve our environment for generations to come.

As Board Chairman, said the Board is investing in upgrades to the Hilltop Hanover Farm and Environmental Center to support local food access and environmental restoration.
