Susan J. Serino (born September 8, 1961)[2] is an American politician and a member of the New York State Senate, representing the 41st district since 2015. The district encompasses portions of the Hudson Valley, including Poughkeepsie. Serino is a Republican.
Prior to her time in the Senate, Serino served as a member of the Dutchess County Legislature.
Background
Serino was born and raised in Dutchess County, New York.[3] The daughter of immigrants, Serino worked waiting tables and later started her own childcare business.[4]
In 1996, Serino joined the real estate industry, opening a real estate office in Poughkeepsie.[5] In 2003, she moved her office to Hyde Park, New York. As of 2019, the office has over twenty sales associates.[6]
In 2010, Serino first won elected office as a member of the Hyde Park town board.[7] A year later, in 2011, Serino was elected to the Dutchess County Legislature. She was re-elected in 2013, running unopposed.[8]
New York Senate
In 2014, Serino was recruited by Senate Republicans to run against first-term incumbent Terry Gipson.[9] While Gipson had won election in 2012, the district had been reliably Republican in prior years.[10] Serino defeated Gipson, 51% to 46%.[11][12] Gipson would seek a rematch against Serino in 2016; this time, Serino prevailed by a margin of 52%-42%.[13][14]
In 2018, Serino narrowly won re-election to a third term, defeating Democrat Karen Smythe by only 688 votes.[15][16]
