Congressman Delgado was “articulate, principled and honest,” former Village Democratic chair Richard Sternberg said.

COOPERSTOWN – Small farms, rural broadband, the National Debt and the Muller Investigation – Congressman Antonio Delgado was there to answer it all.

“I take pride in representing this district,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of truly diverse districts like ours in D.C., so their representatives aren’t motivated to find common ground. My hope is that we can all come together and be civil.”

Delgado hosted a “Town Hall” for 400 participants in the Village Hall’s ballroom 22 Main Street this afternoon, his first in Cooperstown since he defeated Republican John Faso Nov. 6.
