Press Release

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today in a speech to the House of Representatives led a moment of silence after reflecting on the career and accomplishments of the late Congressman Sherwood "Sherry" Boehlert, who represented our community in Congress from 1983 to 2007.

In part, Congresswoman Tenney said, "[Congressman Boehlert] will always be fondly remembered by all our colleagues, Republicans and Democrats alike. Earlier this week, I had the distinct honor of participating in his funeral service alongside elected officials from our region as well as former Members of Congress. It was a solemn occasion honoring his life, but also a joyous one to celebrate all that he achieved for our community. Today, my thoughts and my prayers are with Sherry's family, especially his wife, Marianne, who is also a devoted public servant. I ask that you please join me now to remember Sherry with a moment of silence in this great chamber, where he served so many years."
