Gounardes Strikes Bipartisan Note on Transition Team
Senator-Elect Names Republicans to his Committee
After a divisive campaign punctuated by heated debates and a long, drawn-out vote count, Democratic state Senator-elect Andrew Gounardes sought to strike a bipartisan note as he prepares to succeed the man he defeated, Republican Marty Golden, in office on Jan. 1.
In one of his first major acts as a senator-elect, Gounardes made sure to include prominent Republicans on his 54-member transition team.
