Statement: Allegany Co. Democrats Support Truth and Justice
Belmont, NY --- The values of our county committee, and by extension our party, are simple -- opportunity, equality, and fairness under the law for all people. We are finally in an era where women are encouraged and supported when they speak up about sexual harassment. In all instances we wish to see the law upheld and justice done.
As regards the accusations against Governor Cuomo, we support Attorney General James' investigation and trust it will uncover the truth and lead to justice.
As regards the admitted sexual misconduct by Rep. Tom Reed, we believe the House Ethics Committee must follow its charter and launch an investigation immediately.
In both cases, we stand for truth and justice. If these men are guilty, they must not be allowed to remain in public office.
The Allegany County Democratic Committee is the official governing body for the County Party, working toward broader representation by Democrats at the local, state, and national levels.

Allegany County Democrats came through for our furry friends at the SPCA Serving Allegany County! Democrats generously donated dog and cat food, toys, and supplies needed at the SPCA in Belmont, in observance of then-President-elect Biden's call for Democrats and Democratic organizations to participate in the National Day of Service on January 18, 2021.
 “Serving our Community” on National Day of Service:
When the Biden-Harris Inaugural Committee contacted the Allegany County Democratic Committee to ask if they would be taking part in National Day of Service the answer came quickly, and the results were impressive.
Karen Patterson, lead coordinator for this project, said, “In honor of Champ and Major and, we understand, a cat, becoming residents of the White House, we collected donations for the SPCA Serving Allegany County. We had a short time frame for this project, but our volunteer network knows how to make things happen.”
The call went out for donations, which were collected at multiple points across the county. The collected goods were then delivered by volunteers on Monday, January 19th, National Day of Service honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The results can be seen in these photos. Lynda Pruski, Executive Director for the SPCA, said, “The SPCA Serving Allegany County greatly appreciates the efforts of those taking part in the National Day of Service. Our organization is very dependent on volunteers and donations and it is simply wonderful to see our community come through for us in times such as these.”
