“I’m honored to have the support of Senator Bogdanoff,” said Spritz. “ She has an outstanding record of accomplishment and service in our community and in the State Legislature that truly speaks for itself. I’m thrilled to have her on our team, and I look forward to her continued guidance on the issues important to our community.”
