Below is a list of Rockland County elected officials who are calling on Governor Cuomo to resign in the wake of multiple sexual harassment claims. As we publish this article, their are six women accusing the Governor of sexual harassment. The list features prominent Democratic and Republican elected officials:
Senator James Skoufis
Assemblyman Lawler
“The Governor has made it abundantly clear that he will not resign. Instead of twiddling our thumbs, hoping and dreaming that the governor will change is mind, we need to act. As a legislative body, we need to move forward on articles of impeachment immediately,” said Lawler. “We need to show a direct and clear message to the Governor that his actions are abominable and will not be tolerated by us or the residents of New York.
“Democratic lawmakers have flooded news outlets with their calls for the Governor’s resignation. Take your words and turn it into action. Impeach the Governor, now.”
Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick
Assemblyman Colin Schmitt
“The multiple disturbing sexual harassment and assault allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo are unacceptable. These serious credible allegations coupled with the ongoing COVID-19 nursing home death coverup crisis make it abundantly clear that the Governor is unable to adequately fulfill his duties on behalf of our state. Due to the weight of these numerous allegations and mounting criminal investigations and the information we currently have available it is clear for the good of New York Governor Cuomo must resign immediately.
All of the ongoing allegations implicating the current Governor must face swift independent investigation and accountability through the Attorney General’s office and U.S. Department of Justice.”
Rockland County Legislator James Foley
