Statement from Senator Myrie
August 11, 2021
"New York faces significant challenges at this moment: rising COVID cases, economic uncertainty facing renters and homeowners, and an epidemic of gun violence among many others. These challenges demand focused, steady leadership that isn't distracted by personal grievances or drawn-out litigation. The Governor's decision to step down means that we can get back to the urgent business of strengthening our state and its people.
"I am grateful to the women who risked their careers and reputations to come forward and share their experiences. We owe these public servants a debt of gratitude, and we can show that gratitude by ensuring our workplaces are safe and free from harassment, abuse and retaliation.
"I look forward to working with incoming Governor Hochul to rebuild the trust and accountability New Yorkers should expect from their government, and to working together to address the challenges we face to build a better, brighter future."
