The crowded and hotly contested NY-23 congressional primary finally came to a conclusion this week! Tracy Mitrano will challenge Tom Reed, the entrenched but vulnerable Congressman who is worried about the midterm election:
“There is a wave out there that I do see coming, and I think to deny that is an unwise position to take,” Reed told The Post.
“I think some react to it differently,” he added. “And from my perspective, I hope all members recognize we have to run hard.”

In her victory statement, Tracy shared:
“This crowded primary election was tough. But it also has been a shining example of the energy and renewed civic duty that has broken out across America this year.
Now is the time to heal this district. What we have in common is far greater than that which divides us. Let’s re-establish accountability and common sense in our politics. Let us join together, farmers and small business people, urban and rural, young and elderly, minority and majority populations, immigrants and native-born. Let’s work toward health care, education, labor, and immigration reform; robust infrastructure of roads, transportation, and internet; let’s build the foundation that will attract new investment and bring 21st century jobs to this district.”

Tracy is thankful for the support of the Daily Kos community and she’s ready to unite a district that’s looking for new leadership. It’s time to show Tom Reed the door this November.
