Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) issued the following statement:

“Thank you to the good and decent people of New York’s 9th District for entrusting me to another term representing you in Congress. I have devoted my life to public service for the families of Brooklyn, and I consider myself incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to fight for you – addressing the issues closest to your hearts, and delivering the futures you deserve.

“This community has been my home since the day I was born. Over my lifetime, we’ve witnessed great change take root. From the era of Shirley Chisholm to the days of Major R. Owens, we’ve met new neighbors with bold new ideas, and we have confronted and overcome countless hurdles. And, over the years, we have held fast to Brooklyn’s immovable identity.

“It has been a true privilege to serve you, and I look forward to my 10th term as your representative. Together, we will continue to advance our progressive agenda and serve as a bulwark against oppressive actions and regressive ideologies – fulfilling the highest ideals of all those who built this borough into the special and diverse community it is today.”
