“It’s been a very exciting night. I’m thrilled to represent Senate District 22,” said Reddi.
Thanking outgoing Senator Hawk for his dedicated service, Reddi said he led with “sincere love for community and built strong relationships along the way”. “Senator Tom Hawk is an outstanding leader, and I’m sure I’ll be reaching out to him many times,” she said.
Reddi, a known community leader, on Thursday replaced longtime Manhattan Senator, Tom Hawk who last month announced retirement from the Legislature, KSN TV reported.
Reddi has served on the Manhattan City Commission since 2013 and served twice as mayor.
Previously, she was an educator in Manhattan-Ogden public schools, where she served a term as President of their National Education Association chapter.
Usha Reddi will complete the remainder of Senator Hawk’s term, which expires in 2025.
Usha Reddi’s family immigrated from India to the United States in 1973, when she was eight years old. She has lived in Manhattan for more than 28 years.
