“I am pleased that the Hon. Anthony Brindisi has been confirmed as a federal judge for the Northern District Court of New York by the U.S. Senate.
As a result, this judgeship will remain in Utica, which I fought and advocated for despite Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s attempt to steal it from the Mohawk Valley and relocate it to the Capital District.
I thank Sen. Charles Schumer for his efforts to bring this confirmation to the floor and greatly appreciate the distinguished and respected career of the Hon. David Hurd.
Judge Hurd is a man of exceptional character who took a strong stand and remained committed to ensuring that his replacement lived in and was from the greater Utica area. I wish him a happy and healthy retirement.”
