MID HUDSON VALLEY, NY - From Brian Flynn for Congress: Brian Flynn, Democratic candidate for New York’s 19th Congressional district announced today that his campaign filed the paperwork required to get on the Democratic primary ballot. Flynn submitted over 5,000 signatures from registered Democrats in NY19, greatly exceeding the 1250 signature requirement.

“I want to thank the 100 plus dedicated volunteers who carried our petitions - 100% of whom are voters from the district,” Flynn stated. “Not only did they gather signatures from all 11 counties, they did it by going door to door, neighbors talking to neighbors - often during snow storms, frigid temperatures, and even power outages,” he continued. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

“Our campaign received incredible support everywhere we went,” stated Field Director Erin Stamper. “Brian’s message of creating an America that works for all of us is definitely resonating with people from all walks of life, and in every county across the district.”

In addition to their successful petitioning, the Flynn campaign also met their fundraising goal this past quarter bringing in a total of over $150,000. Of the total raised, 84% was raised from New York State residents, with nearly 70% coming from small donors, giving an average donation of $60. This latest fundraising milestone brings the campaigns’ total to more than $1.4M, with over $900,000 cash on hand.

“We are very pleased to have met our fundraising goals for this quarter on top of such a successful petitioning period” said Carolyn Riggs, campaign manager for Brian Flynn for Congress. “We are happy to be on track to meet our overall fundraising goals,” she continued.

Brian Flynn is a small business owner, union member and the third generation in his family to choose Green County as home. He lives with his wife, Amy, and children, Hedda and Bo, Brian in Hunter.
