George Borrello Sworn In

November 26, 2019

From State Senator George Borrello:

Albany, NY – It’s official: the constituents of New York’s 57th State Senate District are now represented by Senator George Borrello. Senator Borrello, who won a special election on November 5 to fill the vacant seat formerly held by Cathy Young, filed his oath of office and has been officially seated by the Secretary of the Senate.

Celebratory swearing-in ceremonies in the district and Albany will be scheduled and announced near the end of the year.

“It is an incredible honor to assume my new role as State Senator for the 57th District. This immediate seating means that I can begin my Senate responsibilities even as I continue to assist with the transition efforts in the County Executive’s office. I approach this new opportunity with enormous gratitude for this privilege and a deep sense of responsibility to every resident I have sworn to serve.

“Never before has it been more important that we have a strong voice in Albany, advocating for our region, our rights and our way of life. Over the past year we have seen radically irresponsible policies come forward that have made New York State more expensive and less safe for its residents, taxpayers and visitors. As realization of the negative effects of these policies gains momentum, I will be working with my conference colleagues, to reverse many of these misguided efforts and advance truly workable solutions.

“Locally, we have many promising, emerging economic development efforts that need continued support in order to succeed. We have younger generations that deserve an education that prepares them for today’s jobs and a bright future. And we have communities – big and small, rural and urban – who are full of wonderful people who work hard, support their families and care about their neighbors. Their goals are my goals. Today, our work begins.”
