BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Erie County District Attorney John Flynn is ready to take on a new role.
Flynn attended a final farewell on Thursday to commemorate his last day in office.
"I firmly believe that I've had the most important job in state or local government," said Flynn. "And I thank you- the voters, the residents of Erie County for giving me that privilege and for trusting in me to do the job."
Flynn said becoming a DA was a big dream of his that he was able to accomplish, so now it's time for a new change.
"I am at a point in my life where I have fulfilled a lot of my expectations, a lot of things on my checklist," he said.
Flynn will soon be joining a Buffalo-based law firm.
"I'm gonna embark on that journey."
Flynn says he hopes to be remembered as an honest and fair DA who served the county well.
Flynn joined 7 Voices on Friday, his last day as the county's DA, to reflect on his role. You can watch his full conversation below.
