Congressman Mondaire Jones (NY-17) released the following statement:

“Over the past several months, it has become clear that Governor Cuomo is unfit to continue leading our state.

“His mismanagement of COVID-19 spread in nursing homes and subsequent attempt to cover it up cost lives and has decimated the public’s faith in our state government. New revelations about an alleged cover-up of potential structural defects in the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, which thousands of New Yorkers cross every day, as well as his refusal to establish a mass vaccination site in Rockland County despite it having the highest rate of COVID-19 infection in New York State, raise additional questions about the Cuomo Administration’s commitment to keeping New Yorkers safe. Recently, the deeply disturbing allegations of at least six women, including several former employees, offer detailed descriptions of sexual misconduct that raise additional concerns about the Governor’s fitness to hold any position of public trust.

“For the good of our state and everyone who calls it home, I urge Governor Cuomo to resign.”
