“It has been an honor to serve the residents of the 6th District and our entire City,” said Matzo. “I’m running for re-election because together we've begun to make meaningful change and significant improvements, as we make Binghamton a better place to live, work and raise a family. But we've got more work to do, and I’m up for the challenge. Help me finish what we've started.”
