Assemblyman Chris Tague (R,C,I-Schoharie) is joining Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay in his call for Speaker Carl Heastie to convene a special session of the Assembly to remove Gov. Cuomo from office through impeachment. This call to action follows a press conference held by Attorney General Letitia James detailing how her office’s independent investigation into the governor found he has sexually assaulted multiple women including aides and a state trooper assigned to his security detail and threatened to retaliate against them for going public with their stories, in violation of state and federal law.

“What we learned today demands an immediate and decisive response, to reject a leader who has abused his power to harm people who trusted him,” said Tague. “There’s no reason to wait to call a session to order, this is a matter of basic humanity. If there was ever something people of all parties can come together and agree on, it’s that someone who’s hurt people like Gov. Cuomo did has no place in our state government.”
