The Democrat’s candidate to run for the 23rd Congressional seat is apparently Tracy Mitrano of Penn Yan.

While the vote was not yet certified, Max Della Pia of Owego conceded to Mitrano on July 3.

At the close of the voting, Della Pia had led Mitrano by 26 votes before absentee ballots were opened.  Five candidates were vying for the Democratic nomination to face Republican Tom Reed.

Reed has held the Congressional seat since 2010.
