The seven Democrats in the Congressional primary June 26 for New York's 19th District are now in the stunt campaign portion of the election. The Daily Freeman reports that Pat Ryan is marching from the home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park to U.S. Rep. John Faso’s district office in Kingston, June 16. Ryan says he is doing the march to demand action to end gun violence, but he and other candidates are attempting to stand out in a crowded field. The Times Union reported that David Clegg began a three-day, 200-mile bike trip June 6, visiting a number of pollution hot spots in the district on the way. Gareth Rhodes has been at this longer, visiting all 163 towns and cities in the district before the June 26 vote. Erin Collier, Jeff Beals, Antonio Delgado, and Brian Flynn are also running in the June 26 election. The winner will face incumbent Faso (R-Kinderhook) in November.
