Steven Holden, one of the Central New York Democratic candidates running for Congress, is now switching his bid from the Syracuse-based 22nd Congressional District to the 24th District, he told Spectrum News 1 Tuesday.

“Folks, we are going to all corners and meet with the great people of NY-24,” Holden said on Twitter. “From Fort Drum to Niagara County, the Lake District belongs to the People!”

Holden is from Oklahoma and attended Syracuse University. He served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, including four deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

He is currently the CFO of an organization that helps military veterans receive government employees.

Holden is a proponent of health care for all Americans, action on climate change, raising the federal minimum wage and eliminating student debt. He also supports the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals.

Holden in June joined the race to replace retiring Republican Rep. John Katko in the former Syracuse-based 24th District. After redistricting by the state Legislature earlier this year, he is now seeking the same numbered district, which now covers a new area. Currently held by Republican Rep. Chris Jacobs, the new 24th District stretches along the Lake Ontario shoreline from Niagara Falls to Alexandria Bay and the western Thousand Islands region, save for the greater Rochester area, held by Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle.

The new districts are currently being challenged in court. A temporary stay has been granted on a New York judge's ruling that rejected the state Legislature's new maps of the state's congressional districts as well as those in the state Senate and Assembly.
