AI Summary

This resolution, passed by the New York State Legislature, formally mourns the death of The Honorable Eliot Engel, a distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community who passed away on April 10, 2026, at the age of 79. The resolution highlights Engel's extensive public service career, beginning as a New York State Assemblyman from 1977 to 1988, where he chaired committees on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse and Mitchell-Lama Subsidized Housing. He then served in the United States House of Representatives from 1989 to 2021, representing parts of the Bronx, Westchester, and Rockland counties, and rose to become Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Throughout his more than 44 years in public service, Engel was recognized as a strong advocate for human rights, particularly for Kosovo and the Albanian community, and a tireless fighter for his constituents, known for his hard work, conviction, and kindness. The resolution also acknowledges his background as a former teacher and guidance counselor, his passion for the New York Mets, and expresses condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, and sister.
