DELAWARE COUNTY DEMOCRATS WELCOME
NY20 CANDIDATE SCOTT MURPHY

DELHI – The Delaware County Democratic Committee will host Scott Murphy, Democratic candidate for the 20th Congressional District of New York, at a pair of events on February 25 in Delhi.

Murphy will attend the regularly scheduled Committee meeting to take place that evening at 7 p.m. in SUNY Delhi’s Sanford Hall, Room 22. Murphy will discuss his candidacy and his take on the issues, and will answer questions from Committee members, members of the public and the media.

Earlier in the day, Murphy will formally open his Delaware County campaign office at 98 Main Street (Schimmerling Law Offices) with a ribbon cutting ceremony and Meet & Greet event. The time for the ribbon cutting has yet to be determined but will be announced on this web site.

Scott Murphy is a Glen Falls business man who, as a managing director of venture firm Advantage Capital, made investments in promising companies in connection with federal, state and local economic development initiatives. Murphy says he is running for Congress to capitalize on his business experience to create and save jobs in upstate New York. As a successful entrepreneur, Murphy has helped to create over 1,000 jobs in New York State.

Murphy is running to fill the seat vacated by Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed by Governor David Paterson to the Senate to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The special election is expected to be scheduled for March 31.

I am very proud to announce that the Delaware County Democratic Committee along with many wonderful volunteers, turned out over 120 students we registered from Suny Delhi to vote yesterday! This is out of 159 registered with the campus as their address. Amazing!! Thanks to all, and our work has only just begun.

Congresswoman Gillibrand, who lost by over 1200 votes in 2006, carried Delaware County by 1179 votes over Sandy Treadwell: 8226 to 7047 (unofficial of course)

Obama lost in the county, but not by much: 8562 to 9875. HE WON IN DELHI, MIDDLETOWN AND SIDNEY!!

Delhi: 868 Obama to 735 McCain (gee, do you think this has anything to do with all those college students!!??)

Middletown: 740 Obama to 645 McCain

Sidney: 1104 Obama to 984 McCain

Everyone I have spoken to says they wept for joy, and relief. It’s a good day.
