Statement by The Bronx Democratic Party on the Reunification of the Senate Democrats



Today, Senate Democrats have reached a deal to reunify in order to take control of the Senate Chamber. The fact of the matter is that Senator Jeff Klein has always been a dedicated partner in passing progressive legislation in Albany and in bringing needed resources to the Bronx. 

This move further solidifies his dedication to the Democratic Party and to doing what is best for the communities we serve. As such, we're happy that one our very own Bronx Legislators will remain in Senate leadership as Deputy Democratic Leader. 

We thank Governor Cuomo and the Senate Democrats for making this happen. Now, more than ever, it's necessary for us as a Party to have a united front as we head into the mid-term congressional elections. More importantly, now that the leaders of the Senate Democrats have agreed to unify, the rest of us have to follow suit and also unify behind them - all of them - heading into the upcoming New York State Democratic primaries. 

If we demanded that they come together for the sake of the Party, then we must also come together to support them for the sake of the Party.
