I have known and worked with Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy for many years, first as Rochester's chief of police and later as that city's mayor, and he has always been a strong advocate for his community. It has been my privilege to serve with him for nearly three years and my admiration for his skill and energy has only grown. Unquestionably, Bob Duffy has done an outstanding job as lieutenant governor both in representing the Cuomo administration and in addressing the interests and concerns expressed by New Yorkers in every region of our state. I consider Bob a friend and colleague who brings integrity and character to our government and I hope he will continue to serve our state for many years to come.
