A new political action committee in Schenectady County is aiming to help residents through the electoral process by showcasing diverse candidates seeking seats, identifying possible candidates for the future and urging people to vote.
The Schenectady Black Political Action Committee held its first event Friday night where eight people of color running for seats on the county Legislature, city council and Schenectady school board discussed their ideas on various topics such as housing and small business development.
“I think it went very well,” said Damonni Farley, who is running for a four-year seat on the city council.
