Senator Elaine R. Phillips (R-Manhasset) today was sworn in for her first term in the New York State Senate representing the 7^th Senate District.

"Earning the community’s trust to represent them in the State Senate is both an extraordinary honor and tremendous responsibility.  Thank you to the residents of the 7^th Senate District for entrusting me to be your voice in Albany and deliver results for our community.  I will never stop fighting for you,” said Senator Phillips.    

In the Senate, Senator Phillips plans to work in a bipartisan manner to deliver tax relief, fiscal responsibility and increased state aid for local schools and municipalities to help reduce the burden on hardworking Long Island families. She will also be a strong fighter for ethics reform and greater transparency to help rebuild the public’s trust in government which has been weakened by corruption scandals.  Senator Phillips will also fight tirelessly to protect our environment because she knows clean water and clean air are necessities, not luxuries. 

“There are a lot of important issues that need to be addressed to make life better for all of us.  I’m excited and ready to get to work on them,” Senator Phillips added.
