Albany, N.Y. —
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has nominated state Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito, D-Rome, for the position of commissioner of the state Office of General Services.
If the appointment is approved by the state Senate, Destito will leave her 116th District Assembly seat, which she has held since 1992, she said.
Prior to the Senate confirmation, Destito will serve as the acting commissioner, according to the governor’s office.
“It’s with a sense of sadness that I leave my position because I love representing my constituents,” Destito said. “But I do believe that this is an enhanced way of helping my district and upstate New York.”
Cuomo announced the nomination Thursday in a news release.
“While often unheralded or unseen, state operations are critically important to the mission of good government,” Cuomo said, in a released statement. “Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito has the essential credentials for commissioner of Office of General Services. During her 19 years in the New York state Assembly, she has proven to be a dedicated public servant who puts needs of her constituents and New Yorkers first. She has demonstrated the type of professionalism and business savvy required for this significant position.”
The governor’s office could not immediately answer what will happen with Destito’s Assembly seat.
