Seven Democratic county chairs in the Mohawk Valley announce their support for State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli as he seeks re-election in 2026.

Albany – TODAY, Tom DiNapoli’s campaign announced that seven Democratic county chairs in the Mohawk Valley region of New York have endorsed him for re-election.

The endorsing county chairs are Mitchell Ford - Oneida County, Theresa Heary - Schoharie County, Barbara Persico - Montgomery County, Ed Jasewicz - Fulton County, Caitlin Ogden - Otsego County, R. Andrew Drumm and Betsy Briggs - Herkimer County.

“Donald Trump’s failed economic policies are hurting workers, retirees, the middle class, and all New Yorkers. As Comptroller I’m fighting every day to protect New Yorkers against the disastrous decisions of the Trump administration. Our united Democratic front, including the unified support of Democratic leadership across the Mohawk Valley, is how we keep fighting back,” said New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. “As Comptroller, I’ve protected taxpayers, fought corruption, stood up to Wall Street, and returned hundreds of millions to everyday New Yorkers. I’m proud to have these trusted progressive leaders with me as we continue that work.”

These new county chair endorsements join more than 30 chairs from Richmond County, the Capital District, the Hudson Valley, and Western New York who have all endorsed Comptroller DiNapoli’s reelection. DiNapoli’s campaign said the endorsements reflect broad confidence in his record of independent oversight and results-driven management on behalf of New Yorkers across the state.
