In 1910, FDR won a seat in the New York State Senate—the only election in which he carried the Republican stronghold of Dutchess County, site of his Hyde Park home. As a freshman senator, he led a challenge to the Tammany bosses, winning wide renown for his efforts in the process. Among the legislation he introduced was that of protecting farmers and other items stressing conservation...as well as his work supporting a woman’s right to vote, as he notes here.
