Steuben County Republican Committee Chairman Joe Sempolinski announced Thursday that he will run for Congress in 2022.
Sempolinski launched his bid for the Republican nomination amid uncertainty regarding the future of the 23rd District. New York will lose one seat in the U.S. House of Representatives starting in the 2022 election following the results of the 2020 Census. It remains unknown how redistricting will impact the state s congressional districts.
“The rural areas of the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes have always had a member of the House to represent them, said Sempolinski. I will not sit back and wait to see if the Albany machine takes our voice away. The fight must begin now.”
Republican Sempolinski hopes to succeed Tom Reed in 23rd District
