Gov. Kathy Hochul today directed flags on all state government buildings to be flown at half-staff in honor of former Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, who passed away on June 26. McCarthy was a leading gun control advocate during her time in Congress.

Flags will be at half-staff from sunrise to sunset Friday, June 27.

“Rep. Carolyn McCarthy was a strong advocate for gun control and an even more fierce leader,” Hochul said. “From her days as a congresswoman to advocacy, Carolyn McCarthy touched the lives of many through her work in public service, and I join her family, loved ones and Long Islanders in mourning this loss.”
