I am deeply honored to have been re-elected with overwhelming support as the New York State Senator for District 37. Thank you to those who supported my re-election and all who worked so hard to help me achieve this win.
This morning I am reflecting on all of the election results. While many of my colleagues in Westchester had victories, I’m deeply disappointed in the anticipated loss of the Harris/Walz ticket. If you know me, it’s no secret I felt passionately that they represented the best path forward for our nation. But it appears the nation’s voters have decided otherwise.
Reflecting on the wins, and losses, of last night I’m reminded of how I view my responsibility as a State Senator - to serve all those in my district, and in the state, regardless of whether or not they voted for me. To put the needs of my constituents first - to hear them and do my best to serve them. And to remain true to the small-d democratic values that I hold so dear - civility, thoughtful informed decision-making and mutual respect.
You have my commitment that in the days and weeks ahead I will continue on that path - working to build a New York that serves the needs of all our residents regardless of their party affiliation or vote. I believe in decency, honesty, and accountability and I know that the only way we move forward is together.
Sincerely,
Shelley Mayer
