WASHINGTON — Today, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) announced Michael Cashman as a Spotlight candidate ahead of his special election for the New York Assembly on November 4th.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“New York state Democrats drive one of the world’s largest economies and work every day to strengthen the firewall in the states protecting millions of Americans from Republican recklessness and mismanagement of the economy. The DLCC is proud to support Michael Cashman’s campaign and his fight for working families as Republicans nationwide rip away health care from communities like his. This special election is a crucial opportunity for voters to affirm Democratic leadership in one of the most powerful blue states in the nation.”
Michael Cashman (AD-115) is a dedicated public servant running in a November special election to fill a vacant seat in the New York State Assembly. Michael moved to the North Country to attend college and fell in love with the region’s welcoming spirit and strong community values. He has since dedicated his career to ensuring that local government prioritizes working families. By winning his race, Michael will be a powerful voice for rural New Yorkers and block a MAGA candidate with extreme views from gaining a foothold in Albany.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
