“While the federal government shamefully tries to use the census as a tool to attack immigrants and wage war on blue states, in New York we are committed to a robust, comprehensive effort to ensure that every New Yorker is counted and that we receive our fair share of representation and federal funding. I’m proud that this highly qualified Commission will work with traditionally underrepresented groups and local governments across the state to ensure a full count.”
