JAMESTOWN – The Democratic candidate for the 23rd Congressional District will make his first appearance in Chautauqua County later today. Ithaca’s Nate Shinagawa – who serves in the Tompkins County legislature – will hold a joint news availability with Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at Jamestown City Hall. As part of the event, Shinagawa plans to tour downtown Jamestown.
Shinagawa has already been endorsed by several Democratic officials and groups, including the Chautauqua County Democratic Committee, Hornell mayor Shawn Hogan and Elmira mayor Sue Skidmore.
Shinagawa is challenging Corning republication Tom Reed, an incumbent who was in Chautauqua County over the weekend. The two are vying for the newly drawn 23rd Congressional District, which was created last month through redistricting.
