“I look forward to serve the first female Governor of NY and work with the awesome people from the Executive chamber,” he wrote.

“I promise that I will try my best to serve the Asian Americans across Western NY! I know I can always count on my people and your wishes are always with me,” added Nair, who started working in the state’s capital Albany on Nov. 8.
