Longtime New York Rep. Nita Lowey announced Thursday she won’t seek reelection next year, paving way for a competitive primary in her heavily Democratic district.

Lowey, who serves as the chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee and was first elected to Congress in 1989, said she will continue “working as hard as ever — with the same optimism and energy — through the end of this term."

“It is my deep honor and privilege to serve my community and my country, and I will always be grateful to the people who have entrusted me to represent them,” the 82-year-old congresswoman said in a statement.

Three candidates have already announced bids for the 16-term lawmaker’s district, which spans parts of Queens, the Bronx, Westchester and Rockland Counties.
