State Senator Stephen Chan was sworn into office in southern Brooklyn's 17th District, marking a historic achievement as the first Asian-American Republican to hold this position. His swearing-in ceremony was attended by various Republican leaders and officials, who expressed confidence in his ability to address crime and taxes. Chan's electoral victory over incumbent Iwen Chu signifies a trend of increasing Republican representation in the area. His success reflects a broader political shift in southern Brooklyn, effectively changing its political landscape.
I was honored to swear Senator Stephen Chan into office this morning and I'm confident that he will do a fantastic job in Albany, particularly when it comes to fighting crime and lowering taxes for his constituents.
As the first Asian-American Republican to become a New York State senator, Senator Chan has inspired a new generation of leaders to pursue public service.
