Amidst the triumph, Ward remains committed to improving the lives of her constituents and vows to use her position as a legislator to effect positive change in Sullivan County. Her journey and accomplishments continue to serve as an inspiration to all who aspire to serve their communities and work towards a more inclusive society.

Her victory has indeed been significant in changing the face of politics in Sullivan County, placing it in a path that honors diversity and equality.
