THE DISTRICT NY-22

Following the 2020 Census, New York State lost a Congressional District. New lines were drawn, creating a new district.

Sarah Klee Hood is best positioned to serve as the next representative for NY-22 because she is a working family. She understands the challenges families are facing and how access to basic services can change the trajectories of lives. She is ready to fight for those services and our communities against outsider interests and money.

Sarah Klee Hood is the only elected Democratic veteran and mother. She is not: a career politician, from wealth or connections, a corporate D.C. lawyer, or a Wall Street-er. Sarah is a homegrown, non-traditional candidate standing up for our values to ensure big money does not buy this seat and serve special interests.

•

Sarah Klee Hood works in economic development in clean technology at the intersection of environmental policy, clean technology, and funding.

She serves as an elected town councilor and is uniquely qualified to address local issues and how they relate to federal policy.

Sarah is the only wife and mother in the race positioning her to be strongest voice for women’s health and reproductive justice.

As a veteran, Sarah has already successfully demonstrated the ability to place country before self, to ensure our great nation serves the people and not special interests.
