Dear Editor:

Leadership comes in many forms, and when a State Senator stands up for us, we must stand with him.

Recently, New York State Senator Leroy Comrie sponsored legislation that would direct the Queens County Board of Elections to provide language assistance in Bengali, Punjabi and Hindi. This is important because the South Asian community is growing in New York, we vote, and our lives matter.

Thank you Senator Comrie!  I call on all my Desi brothers and sisters to call your state senator to express you support for NYS S06772. New York State Senate Capitol Switchboard number is (518) 455-2800

Sincerely,

Heta I. Patel, hetahynes@gmail.com
