Back in the fall of 2016, Adrienne Martini knew who her Senators were, wasnât too sure who her Congressman was, and had only vague inklings about who her state reps were. After the presidential inauguration, she reached out to a friend of a friend, who was involved in the Otsego County Democratic Party. Maybe she could help out with phone calls or fundraising? But Daveâs idea was: she should run for office. Someone had to do it.
