Rep. Tenney Forced to Close District Offices Over Threats Received

SHARE NOW

Due to a rash of recent threats, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney has had to shut down her district offices.

“Unfortunately, our team had to contact law enforcement today on three separate occasions due to threats of violence and intimidation against our staff members. I am appalled by these threats and am calling on everyone to express their First Amendment Rights in a peaceful and compassionate way. Our team of expert caseworkers are dedicated to serving all of the constituents in NY-24 with compassion and professionalism. I can confidently say that our team is among the very best in Congress. I am grateful to the Capitol Police and local law enforcement for their swift response and commitment to the safety and security of everyone who is seeking help in our offices as well as the safety and security of our staff. If you have a comment or concern you would like to share with our office, please visit tenney.house.gov to speak to a member of our team.”

Tenney represents the 24th Congressional District, which spans from western New York to the North Country and includes a large majority of the Finger Lakes. One of her four district offices is in Canandaigua
