Schumer sticks a pin in all 62 counties for 18th year in a row
NEW YORK – On December 21, Senator Charles E. Schumer officially completed his 18th consecutive tour of all 62 New York State counties – a pledge that he made upon being elected to the Senate in 1998. It is reported that Schumer is the first New York State public official to visit every county in New York each year he has been in office.
“When I first ran for the Senate, I made a promise that I would visit all 62 counties in my first year in office, and I have continued this tradition every single year because of how much I learn – and how much I enjoy doing it,” said Senator Schumer. “I’ve always said, ‘Senators who stay in Washington and never return home are simply not doing their job.’ That’s why I go to the street fairs, the parades and all kinds of public events. Whether I’m in Hamilton County or Wyoming County, I’m always mixing and mingling with my constituents.”
Over the course of 2016, it's reported that Schumer made over 189 visits to Upstate New York and Long Island, visiting counties in the Capital Region 23 times; Western New York 19 times; Central New York 22 times; the Rochester Finger Lakes Region 26 times; the Southern Tier 15 times; the Hudson Valley 27 times; the North Country 10 times; and Long Island 47 times.
Schumer continued to say that personally visiting each NYS county makes him a better public servant because he has a firsthand opportunity to understand the key issues affecting each area.
“In visit after visit after visit, every pin I place on the map of New York busts the DC bubble that can trap a politician in Washington and leave them out of touch with those who hired them. Well, I love New York, and in my new leadership position I promise that I will keep up the visits and continue to work just as hard for the people of this state as I ever have,” said Schumer.
Schumer concluded by saying that in January of 2017, he will waste no time in kicking-off his 19th annual tour of all 62 counties.
