David Valesky, another Democratic New York State Senator, joined the calls by his fellow State Senators Liz Krueger and Brian Foley in calling for Monserrate's resignation. State Senator Valesky said he would "work with other members of the Senate" in order to get Monserrate removed from his political office. The Post-Standard reported that Senator Valesky released a statement saying he was "disgusted" by Monserrate's "deplorable" behavior. Senator Valesky said in his statement: "It is my hope that Mr. Monserrate will do the right thing for this body and for the people of this state and resign his post immediately. If he chooses not to do so, I will work with other members of the Senate to seek his removal. We are currently reviewing the internal options for such removal, and I am confident we will act expeditiously to end this matter." Other Democratic members of the New York State Senate that echoed the calls for resignation included Darrel Aubertine and Neil Breslin .

Democratic New York State Senator Neil Breslin said that Monserrate remaining in his political office would negatively impact the New York State Senate to earn the trust of the public. "We, the Senate, have been through so much this past year. It is time for us to take the steps necessary to earn back the public's trust. Hiram Monserrate remaining a member of the Senate contradicts this effort," said Senator Breslin. Democratic New York State Senate member Darrel Aubertine also called for Monserrate's resignation .
