POUGHKEEPSIE – Freshman State Senator Susan Serino (R, Hyde Park) announced on Thursday that she will seek a second two-year term in the November election.
Flanked by supporters including Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro and Poughkeepsie Mayor Robert Rolison, Serino said in her year-and-a-half in Albany, lawmakers have accomplished much, but more needs to be done, including ethics reform.
Serino, who was a Dutchess County legislator before running for the Senate seat, supports term limits. The proposal would set term limits of three terms for Assembly and Senate members.
“With all of the corruption going on and some of the other situations, I think it has to happen,” she said.
Serino said the Democrat-controlled Assembly will most likely block the plan.
