Sen. Bill Larkin expected to announce retirement Thursday
Sen. Bill Larkin plans to hold a press conference on Thursday to announce what is expected to be his decision to forego re-election, a retirement that would cap a 40-year career in Albany and make him the fifth Republican senator in the last two weeks to announce their departure.
The Cornwall-on-Hudson Republican is scheduled to speak at 11 a.m. at the Newburgh Armory Unity Center to declare what his office described only as his “re-election intentions.” But multiple Republican sources told the Times Herald-Record on Wednesday that the 90-year-old senator plans to say that he won’t seek a 15th Senate term in November.
Larkin’s announcement will come less than a week after Sen. John Bonacic, a Mount Hope Republican, declared that he won’t seek re-election after two decades in the Senate Together, Bonacic and Larkin have represented Orange and Sullivan counties and parts of Ulster County in the state Senate for those 20 years.
