Minita Sanghvi, currently serving her second term as Saratoga Springs Finance Commissioner, has launched a campaign for the New York State Senate.
A marketing professor at Skidmore College, Sanghvi is running in the 44th District, a seat held by Republican Jim Tedisco, who has been in the upper chamber since 2017. The 46-year-old Democrat said that she would challenge the long-time Republican for the 44th Senate seat in November.
“I want to put the community first and not play politics,” she said.
“I have worked with the county and the state when issues come up and solutions are needed. I’m solution-driven and a problem-solver. Mr Tedisco is not.”
“We have infrastructure money coming down the pipe and we have to make sure it is coming to our district,” Sanghvi said.
Minita Sanghvi is an Indian-American politician, author, academic, activist, and educator. She currently serves as the first openly gay and first woman of color city council member in Saratoga Springs, New York, and works at Skidmore College as an associate professor in the Management and Business Department.
