“With his conviction for assaulting a woman, I call on Hiram Monserrate to do what is right for his constituents, for the State Senate and the entire state. In this time when New York State faces such serious challenges and must deal with a $3 billion deficit, it is more important than ever that elected officials focus solely on the needs of the people of this state. The courts have ruled that Mr. Monserrate is guilty of a violent crime against a woman. Domestic violence is far too prevelant in our society and must not be tolerated or treated lightly.

Mr. Monserrate must do the right thing and resign.”
