In 2018, Staten Island native Lorie Honor introduced former Rep. Max Rose, then a first-time Democratic candidate for Congress, to communities across Staten Island. She fundraised for his campaign as his director of community outreach and helped build the volunteer base that eventually led to Rose’s upset victory. Progressive grassroots groups, including the one Honor helped co-found, Staten Island Women Who March, are considered by local Democrats as being instrumental to Rose flipping the Republican-held seat. (Rose lost the seat to Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis last year.)
Now, equipped with the experience of running a successful grassroots campaign for a novice candidate, Honor is trying to replicate the feat herself: she is running for Staten Island borough president, a position no woman has ever held – and no Democrat has either since 1989.

Chautauqua County Democratic Election Commissioner Norman P. Green, appeared to say farewell, even though he remains in his current position.
Green said during Wednesday’s meeting that he was told last February by Legislator Chuck Nazzaro, D-Jamestown, that the Democrats on the legislature would not back his reappointment at the end of 2020. “I accepted that. I went to work every day, worked hard every day. I didn’t give up. … I did what I’m supposed to do,” he said.
Green noted that he has held the position for 22 years, and before that was a regional manager and had served in the U.S. Army. He also served on the Ellicott Town Board.
