Hinchey reflected on his achievements and showed his gratitude.

"Proud to call you my friends and proud of what we have accomplished together," Hinchey said. "That's what we have done. We accomplished them together, and I thank you very much for all of that."

Hinchey's farewell tour will also take him to the Hudson Valley parts of his district before his term ends.
