“As the former County Democratic Chairman for many years, I always felt and made sure that the Democrats made an endorsement early,” said Abbate. “I felt as the party leader we needed to fight hard to get our voices heard in elections. It’s always a tough call with so many talented people who have entered the race, but there is always one who stands out the most, and at this point we need to make that decision. In this case Antonio Delgado is that person for many reasons. He knows the meaning of hard work. He comes from working class roots and understands the needs of families in Otsego County and across New York’s 19th District. He has brought his work ethic and the values of integrity, honesty and service that he was raised on to this campaign, building an outstanding organization that reaches every part of this region. He is committed to restoring dignity to our politics and will be a credit to us in Congress. I am proud to endorse Antonio and I hope you will join him on this journey to win back Congress. Please join me in supporting and voting for Antonio Delgado on June 26th.”

“Richard is a dedicated, longtime public servant who has always put his community first,” said Antonio Delgado. “Our campaign is about restoring a sense of service to our politics and putting the people first, and Richard exemplifies that. I am proud to have him on our team.”

Richard Abbate was a 9/11 first responder who retired in 2002 and moved to Cooperstown, where he became chair of the town Democrats and served as the chairman of the Otsego County Democrats from 2009 to 2017.
