Congressman John Katko: Farewell Address

Four-term elected U.S. Representative John Katko (R-NY) will join Grant Reeher, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute, for a discussion reflecting on his legislative record, the current political climate, and his experience during his eight years in Congress. We are honored that he will give his farewell address at Syracuse University.

A Camillus, New York native, John left his 20-year career as a federal prosecutor to run for public office because he believed Central New York deserved strong, independent leadership in Washington. He was first elected to represent the 24th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2014. He was re-elected for a fourth term in November 2020.  

In Congress, John serves as Ranking Member on the House Committee on Homeland Security and as a member of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. 

The State of Democracy Lecture Series is sponsored by the Maxwell Dean’s Office and coordinated by the Campbell Public Affairs Institute.
