I support Kim Keiserman for the state Senate in the upcoming Democratic Primary election. I have known Kim for years and found her smart, empathetic, and extremely capable.

When she told me she was planning to run for public office, I was very excited for her. I knew her numerous communal involvements and background as a former teacher would make her a strong candidate and, if elected, an excellent representative.

I also know that Kim is committed to combatting antisemitism and have seen her repeatedly attending events in support of the Jewish community and Israel since Oct. 7.

She has consistently spoken out against antisemitism on social media in response to several recent instances of bigotry, including the deplorable “protestors” who recently demonstrated outside the Nova exhibit in New York City.

I proudly support her for state Senate and encourage you to do the same.
