More than a hundred local Democratic Party members gathered in the Hunt Union ballroom at SUNY Oneonta on the evening of Saturday, September 29 for an annual fundraiser and to hear two rising stars argue for their vision of the future of the party.
Otsego County Democrats gave a standing ovation for speeches by New York Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, who is running a progressive primary campaign against Governor Kathy Hochul for the 2026 gubernatorial election, and Democratic National Committee Vice Chair and Pennsylvania State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta. Local party leaders, thrust into national importance by the battleground NY-19 congressional district, say they have momentum and candidates that offer their best chance of winning a majority on the Otsego County Board of Representatives in many years come this year’s November 4 elections.
