At its nomination convention, held on the evening of Thursday, February 26, the Sullivan County Democratic Committee (SCDC) endorsed Michele Frazier to be its Democratic Party candidate for NYS Senate District 51. 

 “I would like to thank the Sullivan County Democratic Committee for endorsing me. I’m running because families throughout upstate New York, and the 51st District, are facing huge affordability challenges. Recently, the Benjamin Center at SUNY New Paltz reported that in an area that includes Sullivan County, half of all households are living paycheck to paycheck, and 15 percent face shutoffs for unpaid utility bills. This is unacceptable, and I’m here to stand up and fight for every one of them,” said Frazier.

Frazier was also endorsed by the New York Working Families Party.  

Working Families is a grassroots party whose mission is to address the critical challenges confronting many New Yorkers, such as access to, and the affordability of, health care, child care, food and housing. Working Families also advocates for wage increases and labor rights and protections.

“Not a day goes by where I don’t meet residents of our district who are working really hard to earn a living, while at the same time struggling to put food on the table, keep their families housed, get access to health and child care—and to grow an income that can keep up with the cost of living,” said Frazier, adding that she would keep the interests of ordinary people front and center.
