See, these are the perks of having the Senate majority, more or less: for the first time in the eight years I've lived here, we got not one, but two mailings from our state senator, Malave Dilan. The cheap mailing is dated June 26th, when the chamber was divided; the expensive, nice, four-color brochure in English and Spanish arrived today, so it was probably sent after the Dems, cough, "returned to power". I'm unaware of any prior outreach by the Senator, and I haven't seen him in the community, either. Ever.

Coincidentally, I think Dilan is probably the incumbent Senator most likely to face a primary. His district has changed so much since he entered politics that he's ripe for a challenge; if, say, the Polish community comes up with a nice, young and attractive bilingual Progressive, someone who can forge an alliance between the Poles and the hipsters in Williamsburg, he's toast.
