***Statement***

“Today, I helped pass legislation reforming the state's redistricting process. If our legislation is signed into law, an independent redistricting commission will draw legislative lines going forward. Our district is kept wholly in tact, with the addition of three towns; De Peyster, Rossie, and Hounsfield. With this issue behind us, we can fully concentrate on the issues North Country working families are most concerned about: passing a fair, on-time, fiscally responsible budget that invests in education and provides an environment to help businesses create good-paying jobs.”
