It is nice to know when running your business and trying to grow your business that you can turn to your elected officials for help.

That is what happened when I called Sen. Patricia Ritchie. She worked directly with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s economic development office to assist me with an issue I was having. Sen. Ritchie and Gov. Cuomo’s representative acted fast and were very responsive.

I appreciate Sen. Ritchie and Gov. Cuomo’s team working together to help a small business.
