ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — Assemblymember Robin Schimminger will not seek another term in office, he announced through a statement issued on Tuesday.
The conservative Democrat from the 140th district issued the following comment:
“For more than 40 years, I have had the honor of representing the 140th Assembly District. During that time, I have met with thousands of individuals and been involved with issues that have affected them personally and collectively as a community. After considerable reflection, I have decided that I will not be seeking re-election next year in 2020. I will, however, continue to represent the people and places that have been a part of my life for the duration of my present term, after which time I look forward to spending more time with my family.”
The 72 year old has served since 1976 and previously was an Erie County Legislator.
