“District 9 deserves a State Senator who can actually get things done in Albany. With Democrats in control of the State Senate, we need a representative who can work with the majority to bring funding, pass legislation, and deliver real results for our community.” (Campaign website (lisavider.com))
“Practically speaking, the Albany legislature is controlled by a supermajority in the Democratic party, and we need to have a senator from that party to have a seat at the table. We know from the past the benefits of having a senator represent us from the majority party, and we need that power back to realistically realize the aspirations of our community.” (Campaign website (lisavider.com))
“Some problems, like our health care affordability and access, simply need an advocate inside the government, inside the rooms where key decisions are made, that has the depth of proven experience to limit the bureaucracy and concentrate on bettering our quality of life while maintaining the services we need for our families.” (Campaign website (lisavider.com))
