My thoughts and prayers are with Governor Cuomo and his family as they mourn the loss of his father Mario, a former three-term New York Governor and leading voice of the Democratic Party. Mario Cuomo was a legendary figure in New York politics who chose public service for all the right reasons. He could have run for President or been appointed to the Supreme Court, but he chose to stay and serve the people of New York. He used his gift for oratory to speak about his beliefs and ideals with great passion and, in doing so, made a significant impact on the political history of our state and nation. Mario Cuomo was Governor when I first became a member of the State Senate, and I always had a deep and profound respect for him. With his passing, New York has lost a dedicated leader and committed public servant, and one of the great orators of our time. He will be deeply missed.
