In the race for the 44th State Senate District, Minita Sanghvi, the incumbent Saratoga Springs City Finance Commissioner, has received the backing of both the Saratoga County and Schenectady County Democratic Committees. Sanghvi is challenging Sen. Jim Tedisco for the seat.
Martha Devaney, Chairwoman of the Saratoga County Democratic Committee, praised Sanghvi as a “dedicated advocate” and a “proven problem solver.”
“Minita’s roles as a committed parent, esteemed educator, and effective public servant demonstrate her dedication to achieving results that transcend partisan politics,” Devaney stated in a press release on Monday. “Minita is the leader that the 44th State Senate District of New York truly needs.”
Frank Salamone, Chairperson of the Schenectady County Democratic Committee, emphasized Sanghvi’s accomplishments as finance commissioner.
“Considering her successful track record in securing funding for the third fire station, a round-the-clock homeless shelter, and the addition of more sidewalks, parks, and playgrounds for the community, I am confident that Minita, as state senator, will focus on infrastructure and boost our region’s economy,” Salamone expressed.
Sanghvi made her intentions to challenge Tedisco, who has been serving the 44th Senate District since his election in 2016, known in January.
