State Assembly Member Daniel Norber announced he will not seek reelection to the 16th Assembly District seat on Friday, Feb. 20, stepping away after a single term marked by a historic party shift and controversy over his residency.

“After thoughtful reflection, I have decided I will not seek reelection to represent the 16th Assembly District in the New York State Assembly,” Norber said in a statement. He called serving the district “one of the greatest honors of my life” and thanked voters for their trust.
