From the Trail
Last week Matt joined volunteers in Schoharie, Clinton, and Herkimer counties, knocking on doors and speaking with voters. He then participated in the Champlain Valley Business & Professional Women’s Club “Meet the Candidates” Forum in Plattsburgh.
This week, Matt enjoyed breakfast at the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation where he met with members of the community. He then met with students at SUNY Potsdam, discussing the issues on the minds of young voters. Matt also joined Americans Supporting Armed Services for a discussion on veteran’s issues in the North Country and across New York State, and attended a roundtable on issues impacting North Country healthcare workers with 1199 SEIU members.
Team Castelli Town Halls are continuing! This week Matt will be holding town halls in Warren, Rensselaer, and Clinton counties, in keeping with his pledge to meet with voters in all 15 counties in our district. He will also be speaking with veterans for a meet & greet in Saranac Lake. See below and on Facebook for updates. Missed a town hall in your area? You can check them out on our YouTube channel.

The event had an unexpected moment when an audience member asked a question to Stager regarding local politicians and their relationships to environmental issues. Stager looked to the back of the room and asked if Matt Castelli wanted to “take this one.”
Castelli, the Democratic nominee for New York’s 21st congressional district, said he was campaigning and heard about the event and decided to stop by. He took the opportunity to speak on his own views of the value of environmental conservation in the North Country.

October 20, 2022, Poughkeepsie Journal, These NY Republicans objected to the 2020 election results. Where do they stand now?
Matt Castelli, who is challenging Stefanik for her deep-red North Country seat, said Stefanik’s responses about Jan. 6 are antithetical to the oath she swore to the Constitution when taking office.
“We have not yet had true transparency, accountability and justice for what happened on January 6,” he said. “We certainly still have an opportunity at the ballot box to hold folks like Elise Stefanik accountable for her criminal and traitorous actions.”
