“I applaud Rossana Rosado’s nomination to serve as New York’s next Secretary of State and commend Governor Cuomo on such a wise selection. Ms. Rosado has been a trailblazer throughout her career from her earning an Emmy in 1992 for producing of a series of Public Service Announcements featuring organizations that help children, to her accomplishment in being the first female editor-in-chief of El Diario in 1995, to her service assisting formerly incarcerated New Yorkers reintegrate into society. I was proud to recognize Rossana as a New York State Woman of Distinction in 2011, and continue to be impressed by this dedicated and inspired public servant.”
