Assemblymember Nathalia Fernandez will have a new title come January after declaring victory in the state’s 34th Senatorial race over Samantha Zherka Tuesday night, though her challenger was not ready to concede Wednesday afternoon.
The two opponents were battling for the open seat, which spans the east Bronx from Parkchester and Castle Hill to City Island, and also includes Westchester’s Pelham and parts of New Rochelle.
