“On behalf of all Brooklynites, I offer my full-hearted congratulations to my colleague, friend, and neighbor Chuck Schumer, who has made history as the first New Yorker to serve as a party leader in the United States Senate. Senator Schumer brings Brooklyn values to this most important role, including his compassion, ingenuity, and tenacity. He carries an incredible responsibility in the coming Congress, and our borough will count on him to continue his role as a champion of the issues facing urban America.”
