Sunday, Feb. 1st, 1:00 pm, Jon Lipe Announcement about the 119th Assembly District, Irish Cultural Center, 623 Columbia St., Utica. Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon recently announced that she is not seeking re-election this fall after four terms as our voice in Albany. Keeping this seat Democratic is absolutely essential for our area. It is the only Democratic seat in the Mohawk Valley in the state legislature. If we lose this seat, Oneida County will be effectively shut out of all major decisions made at the state level. Join other IMV members for this exciting announcement about our longtime friend, Jon Lipe!  RSVP.
