Democrats in Onondaga County designated candidates Wednesday for the 2023 election cycle.
At the top of the ticket, Bill Kinne, a county legislator, will challenge Ryan McMahon in the race for county executive.
Max Ruckdeschel, who is serving in his first year as the party’s chair, said expects Democrats to designate additional candidates, on top of the nine legislature candidates so far picked.
The party hopes to add candidates in the Onondaga County Legislature’s 2nd and 4th districts specifically, Ruckdeschel said.
Democrats are running just two incumbents in county legislature races: Legislature Minority Leader Chris Ryan and 16th District Legislator Charles Garland.
Ruckdeschel said he had not yet been notified by any candidates planning primary challenges to designated candidates.
