James Nani is reporting at The Fray a Kingston-based political action committee called NY 19 Votes has raised nearly $32,000 in its effort to unseat U.S. Rep. John Faso. According to its website, NY 19 Votes “grew from the #Resistance and Indivisible movement after the November election.” The group said it has already brought together nearly 400 volunteers at 12 launch sites across the 19th Congressional District and organized more than 1,000 volunteers to knock on doors. NY 19 Votes registered with the Federal Election Commission in April. In its mid-year campaign report filed with the FEC, it said it raised just over $31,700 from 164 donors. The funds raised will be used for staff, canvassing logistics and maintaining its website and social media presence. “If we’re able to fundraise well, we’re hoping to build our staff out after November and help maintain pressure on Faso as the Democratic primary heats up,” said Dustin Reidy, campaign director for NY 19 Votes. Ready said the group will not support a candidate in the primary, but the infrastructure it is building will become available to whoever wins.
