Working Families Party Endorses Barber For State Senate
The New York State Committee of the Working Families Party has endorsed Caroline Supervisor Don Barber as its candidate for state Senate District 51, the party announced Tuesday.
The endorsement, which follows a screening by the Herkimer-Oneida Chapter of the Working Families Party, will mean Barber will be on the party’s ballot line as well as that of the Democratic Party.
Barber is running against 22-year incumbent Republican James Seward. The district includes all or part of Greene, Schoharie, Herkimer, Otsego, Chenango, Cortland and Tompkins counties. The Tompkins County portion comprises the towns of Caroline, Danby, Dryden and Groton.
“We endorsed Barber because of his pledge to fight for issues that matter to ordinary New Yorkers — fair taxes, clean elections and good jobs,” said John Furman, Co-Chair of the Herkimer-Oneida Chapter of the Working Families Party.
