If it seemed like former State Senator's Ruth Hassel=Thompson's old state senate office, that is because it is. On hand was an almost who's who of Bronx Politics from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie to City Councilman Andy King. Even former State Senator Hassel-Thompson was all smiles telling me that she not only enjoys her new job with the governor's office, but that she loves it. The former senator had no regrets about leaving the state senate also saying "sometimes you have to know when it is time to let others take over".
Having been in the South Bronx with State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr. and Assemblyman Sepulveda, I missed the beginning, but I was able to see State Senator Keith Parker, Councilman Ritchie Torres, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, and former State Senator Ruth Hassel-Thompson. Below are some photos I was able to get of the event.
