NY State Primary June 25

This primary will feature elections for state legislative seats and U.S. congressional seats. The League of Women Voters of Albany County and of the Cooperstown Area held a candidates’ forum for the Democratic candidates for the New York 102 Assembly District on Sunday, June 2, at the Octagon Barn in Delanson, N.Y. The forum was recorded and is available on League of Women Voters of Albany County’s YouTube channel LWV Albany. More information about the candidates is available at VOTE411.

Mary Finneran and Janet Tweed are vying for the Democratic nomination to represent the 102nd District. The 102nd District comprises all of Schoharie and Greene counties, and portions of Albany, Columbia, Delaware, Otsego (including the towns of Otsego, Worcester, Cherry Valley, Middlefield, and Springfield), and Ulster counties.

Mary Finneran, a resident of Cairo, is a retired art teacher and environmental and social justice advocate. Janet Tweed is a Delhi village trustee and physical therapist. The winner of the June 25 primary will face incumbent Christopher Tague in November. There will be no Republican forum as the Republican incumbent is running unopposed.
