Barrett vs Hodge in NY's 106th District

New York’s 106th Assembly District is heating up as incumbent Didi Barrett faces a fiery primary challenge from attorney Sam Hodge. Hodge, former chair of the Columbia County Democratic Committee, vows to turn the once-red county into a Democratic stronghold with bold solutions — all while zeroing in on affordability as the district’s top crisis. Both candidates are battling over high housing, utility, and childcare costs, with Hodge also spotlighting Barrett’s campaign contributions from fossil fuel PACs — a move Barrett denies is corrupt. Early voting begins June 13th, with the primary on June 23rd — and the winner will face Republican Gregory Campus in November. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
