CORNING, N.Y.: An upstate New York congressman said he and his family were threatened with a dead animal and a brick bearing a family members name at his home Friday.
The brick and the animal were found at Republican Rep. Tom Reed’s house after 10:30 a.m., according to the Corning Police Department, which said it was working with state police and federal agencies to investigate, according to WIVB-TV.
Neither Reed nor police specified what kind of animal it was or provided other details.
The cowards used a dead animal and a brick with a family members name on it to try to intimidate us, Reed said in a statement released by his office. We assure everyone such threats only energize us to stand stronger.
Reed represents New Yorks 23rd Congressional District, which covers a large swath of the state north of the Pennsylvania border.
He faces Democrat Tracy Mitrano in the Nov. 3 election.
