The following is a message from the current New York State Young Democrats President, Matt Silverstein who is running for Assembly in Queens. You can meet Matt tonight at his Campaign Kick-off Event, details below! Tonight, I officially launch my campaign to be the next New York State Assembly Member from the 26th Assembly District.
