Chris Tague, a Republican representing the 102nd District in the New York State Assembly, has announced his candidacy for the 51st Senate District. The district includes all of Otsego, Schoharie, Delaware, and Sullivan counties, and parts of Chenango, Broome, and Ulster counties.

“I didn’t go to Albany to make friends. I went to fight for the people I represent,” Tague said in a press release. Saying he has stood up to the “radical agenda that’s driving up our costs, tying the hands of law enforcement, and steamrolling” local families, farmers, and small businesses, Tague vowed “to make sure our district has a strong voice at the table and a fighter in our corner every single day.”
