PRESS RELEASE

Statement from Oneida County Democratic Chair Mitchell G. Ford Regarding Redistricting

"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."
