Maloney Statement on Passing of Newburgh Mayor Judy Kennedy

Newburgh, NY – Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) released the following statement after Newburgh Mayor Judy Kennedy passed away.  

“Judy Kennedy and I shared a love for the City of Newburgh, and I saw her in action working every day to make Newburgh the City that its wonderful people deserve. Judy’s focus and tenacity empowered her to hold the city together through a financial crisis – and to come out the other side stronger. It was also her vision that has led to the reinvestment on Liberty street and the City’s improving financial outlook.

“Judy's legacy, and the best way we can remember her, is to finish her work of making Newburgh an even better place to live, work and raise a family. As she said in her final statement to the City – we have to “rise together” if we’re going to achieve that goal.

“My heart goes out to Judy’s family, to her colleagues on the City Council, and to the entire Newburgh community in this difficult time. She will be missed.”
