“From Buffalo and Grand Island to Tonawanda and Amherst, it has been an honor to serve the people of Western New York and be their voice in Albany. Each of the communities I represented has its own character, challenges, and strengths, and I am grateful for the trust my constituents placed in me to advocate on their behalf. As I prepare to begin a new chapter in public service, I want to thank the residents of the 61st District and all the communities I have represented for their support, encouragement, and honest feedback over the years.
