Michele Frazier to Run for State Senate

Former Oneonta Councilmember Announces Run for 51st District

Delhi - Michele Frazier announced she is running for the 51st State Senate District, which includes all of Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie, and Sullivan Counties, and parts of Broome, Chenango and Ulster counties. Frazier, who currently lives in Delhi, is a former Oneonta City Councilmember, and grew up in Oneonta where her family owned and operated a greenhouse company for over 35 years. 

“My roots in the area are deep, and my family has experienced first-hand many of the opportunities and challenges we face in rural New York,” Frazier said. “I am running because we desperately need a representative who will get to work fixing problems and bringing new opportunities so that everyone in our rural counties has access to the services, education, and support they need to flourish and grow.”

Frazier is a local realtor and teaches Criminal Justice at SUNY Delhi. She is also the parent of two neurodivergent children. Her legislative priorities include addressing the housing crisis so rural New York can be a place where people can afford to live, work and raise a family; bringing reliable internet to rural communities; increasing access to affordable quality childcare so parents who want to work can work, and expanding crisis services to better address mental health needs, freeing up our police and first responders and making our communities safer.

Frazier lives in Delhi, New York, with her husband and three kids. She has received endorsements from the Chenango, Sullivan, Delaware, Otsego County Democrats, the Town of Middlefield Democrats, and the Delhi Democrats. www.michelefrazierfor51.com
