The office is located at 717 Columbia Street, in the space that used to be Billy's Italian Market. Retired physician and Hudson resident Katherine Clark attended the opening and for the first time heard Delgado speak. “He is charismatic and has a good energy. He could be a good leader,” Clark told Moody. Columbia County has nearly 15,000 active Democrats registered to vote, and approximately 12,000 active Republicans, according to the state Board of Elections. Greene County reports more than 7,200 active Democrats registered and nearly 12,000 active Republican voters. “I feel it every day, I’m out there every day, and I can’t tell you how committed people are right now to change, to making a bold statement,” Delgado said at the opening. “We have an opportunity to make real, concrete change. We have the opportunity to put someone in Congress who really cares, who is here to do the work, who is actually here to reflect the will of the people.” Read the full story at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.<
