New York Republican state Assemblyman Andy Goodell will not run for reelection in 2024, he announced Thursday on Facebook.

The Western New York lawmaker currently represents the 150th Assembly District and is currently the minority leader pro tempore, which is the second-highest ranking position in the minority conference.

“I am extremely thankful to have the opportunity to represent Chautauqua County and a portion of the Seneca Nation. It was an experience of a lifetime, for which I am very grateful,” Goodell said in a post on Facebook. “I am forever indebted to all those who helped me along the way, gave me great advice and counsel, and shared their invaluable time and insights, both at home and in Albany. Without the tremendous support of others, I would never be successful. A special "thank you" for all the love, support, and thoughtful insights and guidance from my wife, Lisa. Next year I intend to continue my practice of law, focusing on real estate, wills and estates, and the general practice of law.”

Goodell was first elected to the Legislature’s lower chamber in 2010. Aside from being pro tempore, Goodell is also the ranking member of the Assembly Committee on Social Services.

“Andrew has played a vital role in our Conference as Minority Leader Pro Tempore, and I take great pride in the work we’ve done together. His unwavering commitment and dedication to serving his constituents have left a lasting impact, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside him,” Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay said in a statement Thursday. “When Andrew’s time in Albany comes to an end, we will remember the significant contributions he has made to improve the state of New York. His absence will be felt by many, and his leading presence on the Assembly Floor will be greatly missed by both parties.”

Goodell’s is the latest retirement announcement from the state Legislature in the last week. Republican Assemblyman Joe Giglio, in the nearby 148th Assembly District, and Democratic Assemblymember Aileen Gunther, from the Hudson Valley, will also not seek another term.
