ROSENDALE – First term State Senator Jen Metzger conceded defeat on Tuesday, meaning Republican Mike Martucci will be the new representative in the 42nd District.

This was Martucci’s first run in politics.

A primary focus of his campaign was the bail reforms pushed by Democrats in Albany including Metzger.

“The number one issue that I was hearing as I traveled around the district for months and months in this campaign was the concern about public safety and certainly the dangerous bail reform laws that were passed in Albany wee top of mind for folks and I think played auge, huge role in the decision that voters made with respect to this race,” he said.

“Serving the people of the Hudson Valley and Catskills as state senator these past two years has been the great honor of my life,” Metzger said. “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to bring about positive change that improves people’s lives in this unique place we all love.”

Metzger pledged to service out the remainder of her time in office “with the same energy and commitment I’ve given this job for the last two years. We cannot stop fighting for the dignity and well-being of all people in or communities.”
