58. I'm pretty sure her parents owned a camp in the Adirondacks, so that is her connection to the district.

I’m in Tonko’s district, but the response to her pulling out on my NextDoor is overwhelming. Everyone is thrilled!

I also know from some people in the district that she has hardly been there at all. Not surprised to hear she was booed in Plattsburgh.

Some of my friend’s kids were in school with her at The Albany Academies. Apparently she was normal then.
