Among the key Primary races for Democrats, candidates will be chosen for Governor between incumbent Andrew Cuomo & Cynthia Nixon; there are 4 candidates running for Attorney General & in the 121st Assembly District, Democrats will chose between Dan Buttermann & incumbent Bill Magee. Republicans locally will be deciding their candidate in the 122 Assembly District between incumbent Cliff Crouch & Nicholas Libous & in the Otsego County Sheriff's race Republican voters will decide between incumbent Richard Devlin Jr. & Robert Fernandez.

Nearly a year after Hurricane Maria plowed through Puerto Rico, public health conditions are still poor and access to basic health care is limited. Maria was a Category 4 hurricane, a Hospital was destroyed, and chronically ill patients are still struggling to get the care they need. Waterborne and infectious diseases continue to rise, and the mental health crisis Puerto Rico faced before Maria has worsened. 4 representatives will be going to Puerto Rico later this month to assist, according to Nurse Anna Buell:
