Following reports that St. Lawrence County Legislator Tony Arquiett faces drunk driving and cocaine possession charges, today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement calling on Arquiett to resign immediately:
“This is the third North Country elected Democrat to be arrested for criminal cocaine possession in recent years. I am calling on Tony Arquiett to resign immediately,” said Stefanik. “The silence of all North Country Democrats is deafening, and I urge Democrats to demand Arquiett’s resignation now and make clear that drugs have no place in our community, especially among our elected leaders.”
