Today I am thankful for the 1000 Election Inspectors and staff at the Onondaga County BOE who worked hard all year to make our Democracy possible. We are near final determinations next week of close contests but in many ways have finished the work of the General Election and planning for 2026.

While the narrative is all about the anti-trump wave, the reality is candidates are the ones who put us here. This is why Democrats did so well in Onondaga County this last Tuesday. I recap the night and tell you whats ahead next week.
