What Matters is a Candidate’s Character
Press release
Genesee County, New York, January 6, 2026 – The Genesee County Democratic Committee is
actively seeking candidates for the 2026 elections. Offices that are up for election in 2026
include: U.S. Congress District NY 24, New York State Senate District 57, New York State
Assembly District 139, and Village Offices in Alexander, Bergen, Corfu, Elba, LeRoy, and
Oakfield.
Recent elections have clearly shown that ordinary people with everyday ties in their communities
make authentic candidates who can win elections. Your own life experience in volunteering,
mentoring, working, raising families and being a good neighbor qualifies you – or someone you
know – to be a leader who can make a difference in your local area.
“The Committee is looking for forward-thinking individuals who are comfortable in their own
skin. We’re not looking for political résumés.” Michael Plitt, GCDC Chair explained, “What
matters is who the candidate is as a real person, and their ability to talk with other people. If you
care about making life better for your family and neighbors, the GCDC will support your
campaign with practical help from start to finish.”
Now is the time to step up for your community. Contact the GCDC at
