Update on the Assembly Race

Last week, the Dutchess County Democratic Committee endorsed incumbent Didi Barrett as the Democratic candidate to represent the 106th District in the NYS Assembly over Sam Hodge. Tomorrow night, Thursday, February 26, the Columbia County Democratic Committee holds its endorsement meeting at 7:00 p.m. The meeting takes place on Zoom.

Yesterday, more the fifty Democratic elected officials in Columbia County issued a statement of support for Barrett. The statement, reproduced below, reads:
Didi has been, and continues to be, a staunch advocate for our communities in Columbia County, and has worked hard to deliver critical resources, funding, support, and advice to the municipalities we represent.
Local governments face many challenges, and during her time in office Didi has worked with us to understand and address the important issues affecting our communities. In these unprecedented times, her leadership, accessibility, and track record are vital assets to Columbia County, and we strongly support her re-election to the New York State Assembly.
Among those signing the statement are all five Hudson representatives on the Columbia County Board of Supervisors, Mayor Joe Ferris, Council president Margaret Morris, and four members of the Common Council.
