The Ly Kesse Campaign for Allegany County Legislature
CANASERAGA — The Allegany County Democratic Committee formally endorsed the candidacy of Ly Kesse July 14th in her 2021 run for a District V seat on the Allegany County Legislature. District V includes the towns of Alfred, Allen, Almond, Birdsall, Burns, Grove and West Almond, and the villages of Alfred, Almond and Canaseraga.

Ms. Kesse is running for County Legislature to represent the minority party in Allegany County.
