SCHUMER COMPLETES 62 COUNTY TOUR FOR 14TH YEAR-IN-A-ROW WITH VISIT TO BATTENKILL CREAMERY IN WASHINGTON COUNTY

Today, with his visit to Battenkill Creamery in Washington County, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer completed his 62 county tour of New York for the fourteenth year-in-a-row - a feat that makes him the first New York state public official to visit every single county in New York every year he has been in office. Schumer highlighted some of the year's biggest accomplishments including passage of the SAFE DOSES Act to crack down on prescription drug abuse and his efforts to secure a $14.6 million grant for a consortium of thirty SUNY community colleges to fund worker training and education programs that will help unemployed workers learn skills essential to securing local jobs in emerging industries.

Over the course of the year, Schumer made over 230 visits to Upstate New York and Long Island. He visited the Capital Region 21 times; the Southern Tier 16 times; Western New York 27 times; the Hudson Valley 36 times; Long Island 68 times; the Rochester Finger Lakes Region 25 times; Central New York 29 times, and the North Country 10 times.
