There’s a rematch taking place in New York's 40th state Senate District, which includes parts of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties.
It pits Democratic incumbent Pete Harkham, who chairs the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee, with Republican Gina Arena, who works for the Westchester Department of Public Works, and who Harckham defeated in 2022.
There are a couple of key issues in this race, including Proposition 1 and nuclear energy.
This district is home to the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, which is currently being decommissioned. State Sen. Harckham joined Capital Tonight’s Susan Arbetter to discuss both nuclear power and the Equal Rights Amendment, which will appear on New York state ballots on Nov. 5.
