State Senator Roxanne Persaud (NY-19) ran for office to make her community a better place. She is proud of the work done by so many community organizations in her district, including the Lions Club. 

The motto of Persaud's office is "you deserve to be served." She hopes constituents listen to that message and come to her to talk about their needs and concerns. 

Persaud would take an out-of-town visitor to Shirley Chisholm State Park. If she wasn't in public office, she would return to working in higher education.
