🗣️ Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado rallies with advocates at the state Capitol

It’s rare that an advocacy group holds a rally at the state Capitol when the state Legislature isn’t in session.

But it’s even rarer that Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado makes an appearance in the building, as he did Wednesday. Since he announced he wouldn’t seek reelection with Gov. Kathy Hochul in February, Delgado hasn’t held a presence in Albany.

But he’s now running against Hochul for their party’s nomination in next year’s race for governor. That’s what brought him to the Capitol Wednesday.
