The Irondequoit Democratic Committee’s endless support to assist candidates in winning reelection proved to be effective, as four of their six designated candidates were selected to represent the Irondequoit community. This coordinated campaign effort among all Democratic candidates this year in Monroe County helped to push candidates over the finish line in the final stretch of the election cycle. There were several hard-fought races across the county and state; Monroe County was no exception.

“Our committee members did an outstanding job working with candidates on a myriad of strategies to help support their campaigns,” said Ryan Trevas, Irondequoit Democratic Committee Leader. “These strategies included making phone calls on behalf of candidates, door-to-door interactions with voters, contributing financially to campaigns, hosting lawn signs, and, of course, engaging in early voting as well as responding on Election Day. I am very proud of our committee; our volunteers worked with our candidates in helping them get reelected,” reiterated Trevas.
