Statement from Senate Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins on the Passing of Governor Mario Cuomo
Andrea Stewart-Cousins
January 2, 2015
"My thoughts and prayers are with the Governor and his family. Mario Cuomo was a voice for the voiceless and he stood up for those that could not stand up for themselves. He is the ideal that Democrats strive toward. New York and our Country as a whole are better places because of his leadership. He will be truly missed."
