STERNBERG: Flynn Will Be Attentive To County To the Editor; I have been involved in the Democratic CD-19 congressional primary race since January 2017. I have interviewed all 10 candidates (three subsequently dropped out) and have hosted and sponsored individual town halls for all of the remaining seven. I produced and hosted the debate in Cooperstown on June 12. I can safely say that I know the candidates in aggregate as well as anyone in CD-19. It’s time for me…
