The Latest in local Party news

Statement from Oneida County Democratic Committee Chair Mitchell G. Ford:“Vice President Kamala Harris has made a fantastic choice in selecting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Governor Walz is a true American who brings a wealth of experience, a deep commitment to public service, and a proven track record of fighting for middle-class families to this ticket.Governor Walz's leadership in Minnesota has demonstrated a deep commitment to American values. His background as a teacher, football coach, father and union member underscores his deep understanding of the challenges facing everyday Americans – young and old. His longtime service in the Army National Guard, as a Congressional Representative and as Governor shows his unwavering and unconditional love for our country making him an ideal partner for Vice President Harris.As a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention from New York’s 22nd Congressional District, it was an honor to officially vote for Vice-President Harris to be the Democratic nominee in November. The choice of Governor Walz as running mate further exemplifies why she is the right candidate to lead us forward. Together, they will work tirelessly to realize the promise and potential of America. I am confident that their leadership will inspire and mobilize voters across the country.The Harris-Walz ticket promises to bring a renewed focus on the issues that matter most to Americans, from economic opportunity to healthcare and education. Their combined experience and dedication position them as a formidable team poised to lead the nation forward.As we move towards the November election, the Oneida County Democratic Party stands united in its support for the Harris-Walz ticket and is committed to working diligently to ensure their victory.”Mitchell G. Ford, Chair

STATEMENT ON VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS' PICK OF GOVERNOR TIM WALZ AS RUNNING MATE

Yesterday, President Joe Biden made a historic announcement, announcing his decision not to seek reelection and offering his full support and endorsement to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. This marks a significant moment for the Democratic Party and our country, highlighting President Biden’s unwavering selflessness and commitment to prioritizing the interests of the United States and everyday Americans.President Biden’s tenure will be remembered for its numerous achievements, including leading the nation out of the COVID-19 pandemic through the American Rescue Plan Act, making historic investments in infrastructure with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enacting significant climate legislation through the Inflation Reduction Act, and promoting domestic semiconductor manufacturing with the CHIPS and Science Act. His administration’s efforts have laid the groundwork for a prosperous and secure future for America.The Oneida County Democratic Committee extends our deepest gratitude to President Biden for his dedicated service and statesmanship throughout the decades that he has served this country. I am confident that his remaining months in office will continue to reflect the stability and competence that have characterized his presidency.As we look ahead, we recognize the grave threats to both the Democratic Party’s prospects in the upcoming November elections and the future of American democracy. The recent attack on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, has resulted in his resurgence in national and battleground state polls. A second Trump presidency poses significant risks to American democracy, the lives of ordinary Americans, and the global community. We must unite to prevent this outcome.Our path forward is clear: we must rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris. She has consistently performed similarly to President Biden against Trump in polls and offers continuity with President Biden’s administration, as well as a strong vision for the future. Kamala Harris brings a wealth of experience and commitment to civil service with her as she has served as a district attorney, Attorney General, a US Senator, and of course as Vice President.Vice President Harris is an individual with the highest integrity, capability and capacity for leadership and compassion - a stark contrast and foil to the Republican nominee. She champions the right to abortion, supports the creation of competitive jobs in American industry, and has a track record of advocating for middle- and low-income families. Her dedication to the interests of citizens across the nation makes her an ideal candidate for President. Vice President Harris already has the endorsement of all 50 State Democratic Party Chairs, a majority of Democrats in Congress, and nearly half of the country’s Democratic governors (including New York Governor Kathy Hochul). Since yesterday, she has raised $50 million dollars in grassroots donations from regular Americans who are energized by her candidacy.I am proud to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States and look forward to attending the Democratic National Convention next month as we unite behind Vice President Harris and her historic candidacy as we work to preserve our democracy.Mitchell G.

Oneida County Democratic Chair says Rome and Utica should be in same congressional district

"We strongly support keeping the City of Rome in the same congressional district as the City of Utica. These two cities form a clear community of interest within Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley that shares an Assembly District (AD-119), a single community college (Mohawk Valley Community College), the SUNY Polytechnic Institute, an interconnected business community, and a single county government. A congressional map that keeps these Mohawk Valley cities in one district will certainly be less vulnerable to court challenges."

Oneida County Democrats hold off endorsing candidate for Congress amid redistricting process

The Oneida County Democratic Committee met yesterday to endorse candidates for various races to be held in the county this year. Following careful consideration, the committee is proud to announce its endorsements for the upcoming election cycle.After careful consideration and thorough discussion, the Oneida County Democratic Committee overwhelmingly voted to not endorse any candidate running for the 22nd congressional district seat. As it stands, the redistricting situation is very fluid, and the committee wants more information before making an endorsement. There are several great candidates vying for this crucial congressional seat. What matters most to the committee is ensuring that Democrats reclaim these seats and that we regain strong majorities in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives. The Oneida County Democratic Committee will work as hard as possible to win these seats.The committee did vote to endorse candidates for various New York State Senate and Assembly seats in the county. Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon has been endorsed for reelection to the New York State Assembly in the 119th Assembly District, comprised of the cities of Utica and Rome, as well as, the towns of Deerfield, Floyd, Marcy and Whitestown. Dr. Buttenschon's dedication to public service and her extensive background in education make her an exemplary representative for our community. Her commitment to the people of the Mohawk Valley, advancing education, and fostering economic growth resonates deeply with her constituents in the 119th District.In the 122nd Assembly District, covering parts of Oneida, Otsego, Madison, and Herkimer Counties, the committee proudly endorses Adrienne Martini. As a current representative on the Otsego County Board of Representatives and a respected author, Martini brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the table. Her advocacy for community engagement and her dedication to serving the needs of her constituents make her an ideal candidate for the Assembly.For the New York State Senate, the committee has endorsed James Meyers. With a background in military service, government contracting, and a deep commitment to Central New York, Meyers brings a unique set of skills and experiences to the table. His pledge to be accessible and responsive to the concerns of all residents underscores his dedication to representing the interests of our district.
