While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family.

I am truly humbled and grateful for the historic and overwhelming support from Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and Democrats all across the state for our campaign to Save New York.  

However, as we have seen in past elections, while we would have overwhelmingly won this primary, it is not an effective use of our time or your generous resources to spend the first half of next year in an unnecessary and protracted Republican primary, especially in a challenging state like New York. 

And while many know me as Congresswoman, my most important title is Mom. I believe that being a parent is life's greatest gift and greatest responsibility. I have thought deeply about this and I know that as a mother, I will feel profound regret if I don't further focus on my young son's safety, growth, and happiness - particularly at his tender age. 

I am incredibly grateful to the people of New York's 21st District for entrusting me to represent you in the United States Congress. Thank you to my dedicated staff over the past decade. I am proud of the significant results that we successfully delivered for the hardworking families in our district and across America. It has been a tremendous professional honor to serve as your Congresswoman over the past eleven years.

Thank you for your support and encouragement as my family and I look forward to the next meaningful personal and professional chapter. 

God Bless and Merry Christmas ✨

The president's Tylenol press conference was not only bizarre, it was also stupid and dangerous: https://t.co/txEaI0G5dT

Good thing Trump didn’t willfully hand over the entirety of our country’s operating system to Elon and his…oops.

Dr. King said "the time is always right to do what is right."

The GOP budget vote is at 1pm today.

Our Senators need to wake up and fight.

I’ll NEVER support a plan to cede Congress’s power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Keep calling. Keep fighting.

the worst cabinet pick SO FAR

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Dems are like, “we take institutions seriously so we’ll nominate Merrick Garland who will be meticulous and slow so no one will ever suspect him of political bias” and GOP is like “LOL MATT GAETZ AS AG”

Have these people been awake this last decade? The aw shucks routine is so tired.

You got in bed with a clown now put on the big red nose and the makeup this is life now.

It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%.

Here are some thoughts: 🧵

[Josh Riley @JoshRileyUE]

We’re hearing reports of lines at polling locations in Ithaca, Binghamton and across the district. If you’re in line, stay in line! Your vote matters this year more than ever.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Folks, if you’re in line to vote, stay in line.

Electing @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz is that important. I mean it.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Go vote.

Let’s make history by electing @KamalaHarris.
