Glens Falls, NY – Today, the Saratoga County Young Democrats, a fast-growing grassroots organization representing the next generation of Democratic leadership in Upstate New York, announced their endorsement of Saratoga County native Dylan Hewitt for Congress in New York’s 21st District. At 33, Hewitt is running to take on the billionaires, monopolies, and corrupt political insiders who have driven up costs for young people across the region. The endorsement from SCYD adds to the growing momentum behind Hewitt’s grassroots campaign and solidifies him as the only candidate in the race ready to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington.

“Our generation has lived through two forever wars, two recessions, and a global pandemic — and still too many of us are being told to accept the same old playbook that leaves housing unaffordable, childcare out of reach, and healthcare too expensive for young working families,” said Dylan Hewitt. “That’s a failure of leadership, and I’m grateful that the Saratoga County Young Democrats are leading the fight to change it. It's why I’m proud to have their support in our campaign for Congress in NY-21. Together we are going to send a new generation to Washington that will stand up to the powerful interests that have sold us short and actually make life better here at home.”

“The membership of Saratoga County Young Democrats voted to back Dylan because he speaks to the issues our generation cares about most — healthcare, affordable housing, and economic opportunity right here in Upstate New York,” said Connor Rohan, President, Saratoga County Young Democrats. “SCYD is committed to elevating candidates who listen to young voters and show up for working families.”

“Dylan doesn’t just talk about young people — he listens,” said Danielle Durkin, Vice President, Saratoga County Young Democrats. “He’s shown up to our events, sat down with our members, and taken the time to understand the challenges young people in the North Country are facing. We need more of that in our politics.”
