Democrats Hosting Comptroller Next Month

SCHOHARIE — Even before you file your taxes, you can make a plan to meet the New York State Comptroller. The Schoharie County Democratic Committee (SCDC) is hosting Tom DiNapoli as the featured speaker at their annual FDR Banquet on Tuesday, May 14. DiNapoli has been Comptroller since 2007, innovating the way citizens can get information about their town government expenditures (see https://www.osc.ny.gov/local-government/interactive-data) and reconnecting people to unclaimed funds (see website: https://www.osc.ny.gov/unclaimed-funds), along with managing State pension funds among other things.

Along with him at the banquet will be several candidates running for local office: including Paula Collins, vying for Congressional District 21 running against Elise Stefanik (see the website https://www.paulacollinsforcongress.com/) and Michele Frazier, challenging the status quo for State Senate District 51 (see the website https://www.michelefrazierfor51.com/). 

Last year, guest speaker Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado addressed a sold out crowd. The event will again be held at a Schoharie County family-owned business, Chieftans Restaurant on Main Street in Cobleskill. Bringing people together, celebrating those who stand up to represent the people here in Schoharie County, the FDR Banquet honors community and envisions political engagement as a special form of community service. 

SCDC offers reduced priced seats for groups of 6 or more, and for low income folk and students. For full details, see https://secure.actblue.com/donate/fdr2024, or contact info@schohariedemocrats.org
