Senator Frank Padavan was not successful in his bid for another term, completing a 38 year run in Albany. No matter if you voted for him or not, I believe that this public servant is owed a huge debt of gratitude for his service and hard work.
We may not always have agreed on his political positions, but I believe no one can question his commitment or dedication to the people of his district or this state. Senator Padavan always delivered when dealing with constituent services and he and his staff showed over and over again that “Nobody cares like Frank.”
As a civic person, I cannot tell you how many times I have contacted Senator Padavan regarding community problems and issues. I always received a response in writing and usually the Senator was able to have the concern rectified.
This is not a eulogy for Padavan. It is a thank you and an appreciation for a job well done and a wish that in some capacity, he will continue his service to our communities.
