granddaughter, Justine. “It’s
a great day for everybody, for
Nick, for his family, for the
58th Assembly District, and for
America.”

Speaker, Carl Heastie and New
York City Comptroller, Scott
Stringer participated via video.
“I’m looking forward to working
with you for many years to
come,” said Stringer, a candidate
for New York City mayor.
Mercedes Narcisse, a Haitian
born registered nurse and
candidate for the 46th Council
District in Brooklyn, also
addressed the ceremony.
“Mr. Nick Perry, he’s a leader
for justice, a leader who not just
put his trust in publicity but in
justice,” she emphasized. “Mr.
Perry, thank you for the 15th
term in the Assembly.”
