Senator James Sanders Jr. said: "I am honored and deeply humbled to be named to City & State’s 2021 Queens Power 100 as a leader who has worked hard to improve the district I represent, especially as it was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in Queens. I will continue to fight to bring resources to the community to help improve education, economic development, youth services and much more. Congratulations to all of my fellow nominees on the list for this well-deserved honor."
