Midterm Elections

We will be supporting Democratic candidates for the midterm elections and are hopeful that we can unseat some Republicans.

​

• NY State Senate District 54 - Currently there are two Democratic candidates, Scott Comegys and Michael Mills, vying for the opportunity to go up against incumbent Republican Pam Helming

• US Congress District 24 - Two candidates, Diana Kastenbaum and Alissa Ellman, are hoping to unseat incumbent Republican Claudia Tenney in the House of Representatives.

​

Due to multiple Democratic candidates running for these seats, there will be a primary election in June 2026.
Our committee will be petitioning for these candidates beginning in late February regarding these races, as well as some other county races.

​

NYS Assembly - District 131

At this time, there are no Democratic candidates running for NYS Assembly in our District, 131.
We would like to offer our support to anyone who might be interested in running for that seat.
It would be a shame for the Republican incumbent to run unopposed again - this seat is winnable for a Democrat!

If you are curious about running, or would like to refer someone you think might be interested, please contact us, and we will be glad to discuss the process with you
