Several of our local Democratic candidates for office took part in Carthage’s Patriotic Parade on Saturday, July 11, which went from West Carthage to the Carthage Village Green.

Our JCDC participants included (from left to right):

  • Heather McGregor, candidate for Jefferson County Legislative District 6, which includes Carthage;
  • Cassie Robbins-Forbus, candidate for the NYS Senate District 49;
  • Dennis Gordon, candidate for the NYS Assembly District 117; and
  • Matthew Skinner, candidate for NYS Supreme Court 5th Judicial District.

If you’re interested in helping any of these, or some of our other Democratic candidates, in their bids for election this year, please email the JCDC or check our Facebook page for upcoming opportunities.
