NORTH RIVER â Brigid âBridieâ Farrell, the former U.S. national team speedskater who advocated for passage of the Child Victims Act in New York and across the country, said she wants to offer bipartisan, real-world solutions if she makes it to Congress.
Ms. Farrell, a 39-year-old Democrat from North River, announced her campaign for Congress in New Yorkâs 21st Congressional District on Wednesday.
In an interview Thursday, Ms. Farrell said her work on the Child Victims Act, which passed in New York in 2019, taught her a lot about legislative responsibilities.
âI learned that bipartisan legislation is absolutely possible, and at the end of the day we might be called Republicans and Democrats, but weâre just people,â she said. âWeâre humans, weâre talking about human lives and issues.â
