Golden vows to help rebuild economy in 6th term in office
Taking the oath of office for his sixth term, State Senator Marty Golden threaded the goals of rebuilding the economy and rebuilding communities ravaged by Hurricane Sandy together in a speech before friends and supporters at his swearing in ceremony.
“It’s time to rebuild the Empire State,” he told the crowd during his speech at Kingsborough Community College just after he took the oath of office from New York State Supreme Court Justice Bruce Balter on Jan. 30. The ceremony took place in the Marine and Academic Playhouse on the college campus in Manhattan Beach.
Golden also paid tribute to the residents living in communities such as Manhattan Beach, Gerritsen Beach, and Coney Island, who are still struggling to rebuild their homes and their lives more than three months after the super-storm hit on Oct. 29. Manhattan Beach and Gerritsen Beach are located within the 22nd Senate District, which Golden represents.
