Gillibrand Finishes 62-County Tour of New York State
 

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has finished her tour of all 62 counties in New York state.

On Friday, Gillibrand visited Sullivan, Tioga and Washington counties, officials capping a tour of the state that began after she was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton last January.

During her final stops last week, Gillibrand spoke to constituents about economic development.

Gillibrand’s tour wasn’t exactly precedent-setting, though. Her colleague, New York’s senior U.S. Senator and fellow Democrat Charles Schumer, visits every county in the state each year.

Gillibrand is seeking election to her seat this fall.
