“Well, today is a special day for me as I completed my annual 62-county tour. Every year, I visit every one of New York's 62 counties, and today's 62nd county was Columbia County, with a visit to the Ooms Dairy Farm in Columbia County. When I first ran for the Senate, I promised New Yorkers I would visit every single county at least once a year, and I have kept that promise up for 27 years. This is the 27th year I have had that tour. I love it today just as much as I loved it then. You learn so much. You see people face to face. Sitting behind a desk, just answering the phone, doesn't suffice if you want to be a good Senator. You have to get out there, meet people, shake hands, hear about their concerns, hear about their anguish, hear about their happiness and joys, and that is what I do in every county. New York is a tremendously diverse State.”
