Niskayuna, NY, October 31, 2022 – Democratic State Senate candidate (NY-44) and Schenectady County Legislator Michelle Ostrelich has secured the endorsements of all three federal representatives from the 44th District: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Chuck Schumer, and
Congressman Paul Tonko. Michelle has also received the endorsement of Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
“Michelle is a fighter, a problem-solver, and a coalition builder. The people of the 44th Districtdeserve someone who fights to protect their reproductive rights. They deserve someone who
shows up to do the hard work. When I urge women to run for office, Michelle is exactly the kind of woman I hope will answer that call. Michelle Ostrelich is the right candidate for the 44th
District, and I’m delighted to endorse her.”

Senator Chuck Schumer
“I’m proud to endorse Michelle Ostrelich for the NYS Senate. Michelle is exactly what upstate New York needs – a tough, smart, compassionate leader. She has a proven track record of
getting things done and finding practical solutions to complex problems. Michelle is in sync with her constituents – who overwhelmingly support reproductive rights. Michelle Ostrelich will fight to protect those rights in Albany, and she’ll be a powerful voice for all of New York as a Senator in District 44.”

Congressman Paul Tonko
“As a Schenectady County Legislator, Michelle Ostrelich is a fierce advocate for her constituents. She’s a strong advocate for the environment. As a State Senator, she’ll make sure that
healthcare and mental healthcare issues are prioritized. And I know how hard she’ll fight to protect reproductive rights in our state. I’m proud to endorse Michelle for the NYS Senate.”

Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado
“Michelle Ostrelich is the right person to represent New York’s 44th District. I was born and raised in Schenectady, and it matters to me that Michelle cares so much about the people she serves as a Schenectady County Legislator. I know she’ll bring that same level of hard work, determination, and compassion to the people of the entire 44th District. She’ll be a champion for choice and a defender of democracy. I’m proud to endorse Michelle Ostrelich for the NYS
Senate.” Ostrelich is the only pro-choice, pro-democracy candidate on the ballot running for NYS Senate in the 44th District, which encompasses Saratoga County, the City of Schenectady, and the Town
of Niskayuna. She currently serves as a Schenectady County Legislator for District 3 – which includes Niskayuna, Scotia, and Glenville.
