MONROE – Krystal Serrano, resident of the Town of Monroe, has announced her candidacy for the 98th Assembly District.

Serrano brings experience in small business development, job growth opportunities, concern for the health and welfare of the work force and family values.

According to the press release announcing her candidacy, Serrano "is a leader in building strong neighborhoods with health care education, foreclosure stabilization, and focusing help on other defined concerns by working with community leaders in the best interest of their residents such as homeowner taxation and environmental issues."

She opposes passing unfunded mandates onto local governments.
