Dan Freedman reports in the Albany Times Union that Antonio Delgado for his Jan. 3 swearing-in, when the 41-year-old Democrat takes over representing New York's 19th Congressional District from Republican John Faso. "I'm ready to go," he said last week. He attended an orientation in Washington D.C. last week, and is renting an apartment there for weeks Congress is in session. "I fully realize that many Delgado supporters don't like Trump, and many Trump voters didn't support Delgado," said Chris Gibson, who represented the 19th District from 2012 to 2016, and slept in his office on an Army cot. "But I hope for the good of the district and the nation that these two leaders find a way to put aside differences and work together on the many pressing issues of our time." Delgado realizes he is going into a House controlled by Democrats, but with a Senate and executive branch run by Republicans. "I have to look at things I can control," Delgado said. "And what I can control is my level of engagement with constituents, so they can feel like they can reach out and touch me." Read the full story in the Albany Times Union.
