This morning, I was informed by New York law enforcement of multiple bomb threats made against my offices in Rochester, Binghamton, and Long Island.

The bomb threats against my offices came with the email subject line “MAGA,” and from an email address alleging the “2020 election was rigged.” Local and federal law enforcement responded immediately and are conducting full security sweeps, and investigations are ongoing. Everyone, thank God, is safe, and I am grateful for the quick and professional response of federal and local law enforcement to ensure that these offices remain safe and secure for all New Yorkers.

As I have said many times, these kinds of violent threats have absolutely no place in our political system. No one—no public servant, no staffer, no constituent, no citizen—should ever be targeted for simply doing their job.
