Colleagues, I will conclude.

As we all know and as we see, our job is not an easy one, but we were not elected to stand before our colleagues and our constituents to fail them.
1:14:26
There are differing opinions which we must respect, there are differing ways in which we lead our constituents, which we must respect and we do.
1:14:39
We must unite behind the common good and focus on what is best for every New Yorker and for the futures of the communities that we love.
