Democrats select Blake Gendebien as candidate for New York House seat

Democrats in New York's 21st District have chosen Blake Gendebien as their candidate to replace Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who has not yet resigned. This nomination is informal until a special election is called. Gendebien, a dairy farmer and small business owner, has raised over $400,000 since announcing his candidacy. He aims to appeal to moderate voters in a district that leans Republican. The local Republican party has not yet selected a nominee, waiting for Stefanik to vacate her seat. The upcoming race is expected to attract significant national attention.
