MILLBROOK – Attorney Kyle Van De Water has thrown his hat into the ring for he Republican nomination for Congress next year.
He ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Democrat Antonio Delgado for the 19th New York District seat.
“While I don’t yet know how the district will look, I do know that I care far too much about this district to sit on the sidelines, no matter the odds,” Van De Water said. “It would be politically expedient to wait and see how the redistricting process shapes the district, but I am not a politician. I am not doing this for myself, I am doing this for the people of NY-19 (and perhaps some from NY-18 or NY-20 as well).”
Van De Water said whole some wrote him off as “a sacrificial lamb… our campaign defied the odds.”
He said he was outspent in the last campaign by a 25-to-one margin, but this time, “With your help, I will have the resources this cycle to deliver that message to those I could not personally meet in the last election.”
