East Greenbush, N.Y. - House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on New York’s population plunge following reports that the Empire State lost more residents in a year than any other state in the country highlighting the consequences of Far Left Democrat leadership. As reported in the New York Post, the United States Census Bureau released a report citing that New York State lost nearly 102,000 residents over the last year.
“Far Left Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats have made New York so unlivable that our state leads the nation in population loss with more than 102,000 residents leaving in one year alone. With record crime and cost of living far beyond the national average, New York’s mass exodus is far from over. If Far Left Democrats in Albany don’t start putting the safety and prosperity of New Yorkers before their extremist agenda, there will be no more residents left to tax and fund their radical, socialist programs.”
