Katko, R-Camillus, said in a statement that he will not run for a fifth term “so that I can enjoy my family and life in a fuller and more present way.”
“My conscience, principles and commitment to do what’s right have guided every decision I’ve made as a member of Congress, and they guide my decision today,” he said. “It is how I’ve been able to unite people to solve problems, and how I was rewarded with resounding victories in every single campaign for Congress.”
Katko added, “Representing central New York in Congress — solving real problems, and relentlessly championing bipartisanship — has been the honor and privilege of a lifetime. It is with profound gratitude for my colleagues, staff, supporters, team, and the people of New York’s 24th Congressional District that I am thrilled to begin this next and best chapter of my life alongside Robin and our family.”
