Alessandra Biaggi sworn in as state senator for 34th District

Biaggi now officially represents the 34th District, where she was born and raised. It covers the Bronx and part of Westchester. Biaggi, 32, pulled off a major political upset when she defeated 14-year incumbent Jeff Klein.

"This victory was about seizing a moment, it was about washing away a power structure that shows to you cynicism and back-room deals to self-serving ends -- yes, wash it away, please!" Biaggi said. "This victory had consequences. I believe gone are the days of four men in a room making decisions about our bodies and our communities without our voices."
