The Big Apple Gazette sat down with Dan D'Amico to discuss his campaign for Westchester County Legislator District 16, covering homeownership, flooding, infrastructure, and what drives a first-time candidate to take on an incumbent. Read the highlights and find the full feature inside

If you've driven through District 16 lately, you already know the story. Potholes that shake your car. Drainage problems that flood streets every time it rains. Road conditions that have been deteriorating for years with no real fix in sight. The flooding situation in Yonkers is a perfect example. I recently stood at a flooded street in this district and said what a lot of people have been thinking: this keeps happening because nobody is being held accountable. You can watch

The homelessness crisis in Yonkers is real, it is growing, and our county leadership has no plan to address it. Dan D'Amico does

When people talk about their property tax bill in Yonkers, they're usually talking about one number. But that bill is actually made up of three separate charges: school taxes, city taxes, and the Westchester County portion. Most residents don't know this. And that's exactly the problem. Here's how it breaks down: roughly 63% of your property tax goes to the school district, about 18% goes to the City of Yonkers, and approximately 17% goes directly to Westchester County. That

Yonkers Flooding Shows Why Westchester County Needs Real Infrastructure Accountability Flooding is not just an inconvenience. For too many families in Yonkers, it is a recurring crisis that damages property, disrupts daily life, lowers quality of life, and leaves residents wondering why the problem keeps happening year after year.

This week, I released a video addressing something every taxpayer in Westchester County should be paying attention to. All but one county legislator voted for a budget that raises taxes while cutting essential services by 8 percent. That means cuts impacting police, fire, schools, roads, and roughly 180 jobs. That is not fiscal responsibility. That is asking taxpayers to pay more while receiving less. For families in Yonkers and across Westchester, this is exactly the kind of

After speaking with more than 2,000 Yonkers residents, Dan D’Amico says Westchester County’s priorities are out of touch. While schools, police, and fire services faced funding cuts, county legislators spent $45 million on EV charging stations. Yonkers deserves common sense leadership, fiscal responsibility, and a County Legislator who puts taxpayers first.

4 years later and the flooding is still not fixed. Dan D'Amico is committed to fixing the flooding issues plaguing West Yonkers and the waterfront.
