McMahon stated, "Here in New York, we are really broken-hearted about these officers who’ve been killed, and that’s everyone’s main focus... It’s not something that I’m ruling out or ruling in, but it will get serious consideration after we mourn our tragic losses here."[1] McMahon chose not to run for election to the U.S. House in 2016.
