WRGB reports Albany County Legislator George Langdon IV, of Coeymans, N.Y., announced Monday he was stepping down and issued an apology.

Flach narrowly lost in a contentious re-election as voters had concerns the supervisor was too favorable to Laraway. In March 2021, Flach - as head of Camp Pinnacle in New Scotland - hosted a "constitutional liberty" event where Albany County Legislator George Langdon IV made homophobic comments.
