Dana Balter on the Campbell Conversations

WRVO | By Grant Reeher

Published August 22, 2020 at 5:40 AM EDT

Democratic Congressional candidate Dana Balter

The race for central New York's 24th Congressional District promises to be very competitive, as it was in 2018, where Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) defeated Democratic challenger Dana Balter by about 5 percentage points. This year, Balter is challenging Katko again. She joins Grant Reeher to discuss her campaign and why she says a change is needed.
