During a recent Democratic congressional candidate forum hosted by Cayuga Community College and The Auburn Citizen, candidates Alissa Ellman and Diana Kastenbaum discussed their visions for representing New York’s 24th Congressional District in Washington. The forum, moderated by Guy Cosentino with questions from Robert Harding, focused on issues including the economy, health care, immigration, energy policy, and the political direction of the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 election cycle. Both candidates outlined their priorities for upstate New York while drawing contrasts on experience, policy approaches, and how Democrats can compete in a district that has leaned Republican in recent years.
