Democrats in Orleans are alive and well, and welcome candidates for local offices

Editor:

Orleans County Democrats are alive and well. We are not in a “mess or shambles.” I’m not sure where Mr. Capurso is obtaining his information but obviously has not been given all the facts.

In July we held our 65th picnic which was attended by David Wagenhauser for Congress (24th District) along with some local Republican candidates who always support us. Earlier this year, State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli was at the Hoag Library in Albion for a reception.

We have had a booth at the 4-H Fair for years, distribute literature and have registration forms available.

We have a website and Facebook and both are updated almost daily. We have emails for Friends of Democrats which we contact when we have events.

In the past we have attended Legislative Sessions and have tried to enact changes regarding the county legislators at large and we continue to try to make a change on this subject.

We have held pizza parties for Young Dems in Medina which was well attended.

At this time we are getting out information and signs for Harris/Walz, Gillibrand and Wagenhauser. I do admit that getting candidates to run for County offices is a daunting task. We do try.

 I’m not sure how many relatives you have in Orleans County but do encourage them to join us. Contact any committee member for time and place, we meet monthly.
