Chris McKenna reports at The Fray that Ulster County Republican Mike Roth announced Aug. 3 on Facebook that he is running for the 19th Congressional seat now held by Democrat Antonio Delgado. Roth believes that Democrats are “trying to destroy our Republic by any means necessary.... From attempted treason, in order to overthrow legally elected President Trump, to flooding our country with illegal immigrants, Democrats are creating chaos where legal system is used to delay, stop of reverse actions of our President,” Roth wrote. “Our society is collapsing in front of our eyes where a few elected representatives, who hate our country, are running the whole Democrats’ Party toward Socialism, where ALL citizens will be at mercy of the totalitarian government.“ Ulster Republican Chairperson Roger Rascoe said Aug. 6 that five or six others have expressed interest in running, and that the GOP chairmen of the 11 counties in the 19th District will discuss the candidates soon. “We’re looking to see if maybe there will be a primary next year,” he said. Delgado defeated incumbent Republican John Faso in 2018, and has $1 million in campaign money as of June 30. Read more about this story at The Fray.
