US House District 4 will have a Democratic Party candidate to vote for on August 2, 2016, and it’s very important that everyone living in the district get out and vote. Debra Wirth of Clinton County will run as the Democratic write-in candidate.

Write-in candidates are required to file paperwork with the county clerk and Secretary of State declaring their intention to run in the primary no later than 4:00 pm the Friday before the primary, and they need to win the most votes of all other write-in candidates running for the same seat to win their spot on the November ballot.
