Congressman Antonio Delgado has officially launched his campaign to be Governor Hochul's preferred running mate this fall.
Delgado, who represents the 19th District, was chosen by Hochul last week to fill the lieutenant governor position left open following the resignation of Brian Benjamin, but he hasn't been sworn-in yet. Once Delgado takes office, he'll have to win the primary to become the Democratic party's nominee. Benjamin is being challenged in that primary by former New York City Councilwoman Diana Reyna and activist Ana Maria Archila.
