“After 31 years in the United States Congress, representing the people of Westchester, Rockland, Queens and the Bronx, I have decided not to seek re-election in 2020.

“It is my deep honor and privilege to serve my community and my country, and I will always be grateful to the people who have entrusted me to represent them.

Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. In difficult times, including after September 11th and Superstorm Sandy, I have fought hard in Washington for federal assistance to recover and rebuild.

From cracking down on illegal housing, to keeping our town finances in check, to keeping our families safe with the top ranked police department in the state, expanding our parks and recreation offerings for all residents, protecting and improving our environment, securing record grant funding for major infrastructure work – there is a lot for our residents and taxpayers to be proud of, and we are just getting started. I will work hard through November to earn each and every vote for re-election. I would be honored to have your vote.”
