Congressional candidate Diana Kastenbaum says her campaign has secured its place on the ballot in New York’s 24th District after submitting more than double the required number of petition signatures.
Campaign officials announced the filing this week, saying the effort surpassed the 1,250-signature requirement and signals early organizational strength as the race begins to take shape.
Kastenbaum, a Batavia native and former congressional candidate, framed the milestone as evidence of growing grassroots support across the district. Campaign leaders said the petition drive exceeded internal goals and involved hundreds of supporters engaging directly with voters.
The filing allows the campaign to formally shift into its next phase, which will focus on voter outreach, fundraising, and expanding its footprint throughout the district.
Kastenbaum is seeking to represent the 24th Congressional District, positioning herself as a candidate aiming to bring a stronger Upstate New York voice to Washington.
