“I am honored to serve the president as a chairman for [Trump’s] New York campaign,” said Reed in a statement provided to the Ithaca Voice. “The president’s agenda of creating jobs and making America more safe and secure resonates with New Yorkers.”
Tracy Mitrano J.D. ’95 will re-run in the 2020 election for representative of New York’s 23rd district. Her announcement comes just a week after her loss to current representative Tom Reed (N.Y.-23).
Most Cornellians graduate in four years. Tom Reed (R-NY), who represents New York’s 23rd district (including Ithaca), has been in office for twice that. But you wouldn’t know from the jeering Ithacans filling his town halls. Suffice it to say readers of The Cornell Daily Sun are far from Reed’s core constituency. And yet Cornell, as with Ithaca at large, is a blue speck amid a red sea.
