Aaron Enfield, Joe Ullman, Joseph Gaylord, and Amy Lavine are the first officers of the new Columbia County Young Democrats, a new chapter of the New York State Young Democrats. The NYSYD are the official youth arm of the New York State Democratic Committee, representing young democrats between the ages of 16-36 throughout the state. The chapter will be the state's 16th (there is a Greene County chapter of the Young Democrats, but the New York State Young Republicans does not show any local groups), and the group will hold an "Absentee Ballot" event at 7 p.m. August 12 at Mexican Radio, 537 Warren Street, in Hudson for college students to get their absentee ballots filled out before they leave Columbia County for the semester.
