99 N’ Counting: Antonio Delgado Seeks Re-Election In New York’s 19th Congressional District

What Is 99 N’ Counting?

Earlier this month, Washington Wizards Point Guard John Wall sat down with former Washington Wizards Forward Caron Butler to discuss a myriad of topics including politics. During their conversation, Wall expounded upon his thoughts upon the importance of local elections.

“Our voice turns into votes, and our vote should go to a candidate that stands and fights for the issues that affects our communities and our culture. People don’t understand it’s not just our Presidential elections … it doesn’t start there, it all starts in your city, your state, where you’re at,” he said.

Often times, entertainment media personalities and outlets will echo Wall’s sentiments. However, we often do a poor job of covering those local elections and informing our readers about the ins and outs of those elections. In an effort to not only educate others, but also ourselves we have launched the “99 And Counting” series. With 99 days left until election day, we strive to highlight a local election each day leading up to November. The goal of these articles is not to sway voters in one direction or another, but rather inform readers about who’s running and resources they can use to learn more. Each day, we’ll take a look at a local election in the 100 days leading up to November 3, 2020. Today, we start with the congress race in New York’s 19th Congressional District.

What is New York’s 19th Congressional District?

The 19th Congressional District is located in the eastern part of New York. It includes Columbia, Delaware, Green Ostego, Sullivan, Ulster and Schoharie counties. It also includes parts of Broome, Dutchess, Rensselaer and Montgomery counties.

How Can I Register To Vote?

What Are Candidates Running For?

Candidates are running to represent New York’s 19th Congressional District. Each representative serves a two-year term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Among other things, representatives create bills and resolutions while serving on committees. Representatives also vote on important matters such as impeachment.
