JAMESTOWN – Local Democrats have selected Christina Cardinale, a Jamestown sales and marketing professional, to challenge Assemblyman Andy Goodell for the state’s 150th assembly seat.

Chautauqua County Democratic Committee Chair Norm Green said that the party filed its paperwork Monday officially naming Cardinale as the party choice.

“Christina Cardinale will be making her own official announcement shortly,” said Green. “She is an impressive candidate and I am convinced she will run a dynamic campaign in what will be an interesting election year with the pandemic.”
