Rep. Meeks Applauds Work of Friend and Retiring State Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder
New York, New York—On June 3rd, NY State Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder announced he will not run for reelection. New York Congressman Gregory W. Meeks issued the following statement relating to this announcement:
"For the past five years and even before his time as an elected official, Phil Goldfeder has been a wonderful partner in improving the lives of Rockaway residents and all of those in New York.
"As an enthusiastic and tireless public servant, Phil has advanced countless causes, from reactivating the Rockaway Beach Rail Line to rebuilding and fortifying the Rockaways after Superstorm Sandy. Phil’s energy and passion for community advocacy has inspired others to take up and join his causes, or pursue their own.
"It will be difficult to see such a champion retire from his official post, but I know Phil won’t stop fighting for New Yorkers during his remaining months in office and thereafter.
"I wish Phil Goldfeder, his lovely wife Esther, and his three beautiful children all the best."
