U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy

U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy announced Sunday night that recent threats have forced the closure of his Jamestown office.

“The safety of my staff and the constituents we serve is my top priority,” he said in a statement. “Due to repeated credible threats and calls for violence directed at me and members of staff, starting Monday, my Jamestown District Office will remain closed. I am working closely with U.S. Capitol Police and local law enforcement to address these threats and to ensure appropriate security measures are in place. While the physical office will be closed, my team will continue to assist constituents remotely, and all our office’s services will remain available. I appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the community as we take these necessary steps to protect everyone involved. We will provide updates regarding the reopening of the Jamestown office as more information becomes available.”

His office is located in the Fenton Building at 2-6 East Second Street, Room 208,

Last February, the congressman of the 23rd District noted an act of vandalism at the Jamestown office “signed to jam the door and make it impossible for us to enter our office space.”

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