Ulrich provided the following candidate statement for the New York City voter guide:
| “ |
I am running for my last and final term and consider it a great honor to represent so many wonderful neighborhoods and families in Queens. On a daily basis, I strive to serve all the people my district, regardless of party affiliation, to the very best of my ability. I am very proud of my legislative record and the millions of taxpayer dollars I have been able to secure for local schools, parks, senior centers and libraries in our community. But my main focus will always be putting my constituents first. I still believe that it is possible to make a difference by helping just one person at a time, and that is what I set out to do. The voters of the 32nd district have put their trust in me and I hold that trust in the highest regard. With your support, I look forward to fighting the good fight on your behalf for four more years![5][6] |
