U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy

Another incident with an office of U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy has been reported, this time in Chautauqua County.

“Last week, an act of vandalism was committed at my Jamestown office designed to jam the door and make it impossible for us to enter our office space,” he said in a statement. “At the time of the incident, it was public knowledge that I was off-site holding a press conference and the office would be empty.

“We immediately notified local law enforcement who are conducting an investigation. This disturbing incident comes on the heels of an envelope with white powder that was recently sent to another one of my district offices. Let me be clear: these actions are crimes and have no place in our political discourse. It is completely unacceptable for my hardworking staff and the citizens who rely on our office for federal assistance to be disrupted by the criminal activity of deranged zealots. It will not be tolerated, and I will urge prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.”

Earlier this month, a package with suspicious powder was delivered to the Clarence office. There have been no charges placed in that incident.
