Dear Friends:
This morning, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced my appointment as the Special Deputy Superintendent of the New York State Liquidation Bureau (NYLB). Receiving no taxpayer funding, the NYLB is a unique, 100-year old entity which protects the policyholders and creditors of insurance companies that have been declared impaired or insolvent. I also look forward to playing a role in the development of the new Department of Financial Services that was created in the recently passed State budget.
While I am excited to embark on this new endeavor, it will be bittersweet to end my Assembly career after the current session is completed in late June. I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish in Albany and on the East Side, and I believe that I have been able to make a positive impact on the lives of my constituents and many New Yorkers. I look forward to continuing my career in public service and community involvement.
Thank you for giving me the privilege of representing the 73rd Assembly District over the past nine years. Your support throughout many legislative battles and five political campaigns has been very gratifying and is something that I will never forget.
Sincerely,
Jonathan
