Rep. Jacobs Will Not Seek Reelection; Chairman McGuire Responds

Livingston County, NY – The following statement can be attributed to Livingston County Chairman Jason J. McGuire upon the news that Congressman Chris Jacobs (NY-27) will decline the party’s nomination and not seek reelection. McGuire said:
“I believe Mr. Jacobs to be a man of character who has taken principled positions, but his recent announcement was not reflective of the district he currently represents or of the one he intended to next year. Today’s announcement is a welcome one as it will offer the people of NY-23 the opportunity for a representative more closely aligned with their values. I commend the Congressman for listening to both his heart and his constituents in this matter.”
