News and Events from around the County

The Town of Nelson Democrats along with Carolyn and Dave Holmes invite you to meet Mandi Drake. She is our Democratic Party candidate for the New York State 53rd Senate District.

The event is from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, at The Shoppes at Johnny Appleseed, 3402 Old State Road, Erieville.

Mandi sees herself as part of a new generation of Democrats emerging across the country. Her background in education and creative work reflects a career grounded in the day-to-day realities of working families, particularly those affected by affordability challenges.

Mandi is a visual artist and some of her artwork will be on display during the event.

The New York State 53rd Senate District includes all of Madison County. It also spans Oneida County (including the cities of Rome and Utica), and parts of Chenango County.

The Shoppes at Johnny Appleseed is a unique cooperative-style artisan marketplace located six miles outside of Cazenovia. The meet and greet event will be held in the on-site eatery called the Apple Kitchen. A selection of several homemade soups and/or desserts will be provided. There will be other selections off the menu, plus craft beer and wine, available for purchase.

Stop by to meet Mandi and learn about her vision and priorities for our district. Enjoy the elegant atmosphere, a cup of wonderful soup or a spectacular dessert.

The event is free and RSVPs are not required.

Volunteers will be available to explain how the NYS Matching Funds program multiplies in-district contributions.
