Rep.-elect Eric Massa followed up with his own statement on his victory.
“First I want to thank the citizens of the Southern Tier, the Finger Lakes and all of Western New York, regardless of who they voted for. I also want to thank my family, my staff and the thousands of grassroots volunteers who helped ensure this victory. This was a close election and I’m honored and humbled to have been chosen as the area’s Representative in Congress.”
“There’s a lot of work to be done in Washington and in the district, and I will fight to deliver the change that my fellow New Yorkers have been waiting for.”
And Massa also put out a new official photo, above.
Massa’s statement said he also congratulated Congressman Randy Kuhl on his hard fought campaign and years of service and plans to work with Kuhl’s staff during the transition.
“To maintain the high level of constituent services that our citizens deserve, I look forward to working with Congressman Kuhl during this transition. I believe it is important that we work together in this time to continue serving the voters of this district.”
“Finally, I would like to thank Congressman Randy Kuhl who has served our region honorably for decades. His public service in the New York State Assembly, Senate and in Congress will always be appreciated.”
