This just makes me happy, so I'm posting here as well as GDP
7 WNY Democrats have been tapped for the Clinton Delegation to the Convention
Seven local Democrats, led by Erie County Democratic Committee Chairman Jeremy Zellner, have been tapped for a delegation supporting Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in 2016 in Philadelphia.
Aside from Zellner, the others from the 26th Congressional District are: Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes of Buffalo; Common Council President Darius Pridgen; Leecia Eve, a former Clinton aide and Verizon’s regional vice president; George Kennedy, executive vice president of 1199 SEIU; Bryan Ball, president of the Stonewall Democrats of Western New York and a Democratic zone chair in Buffalo; and Jennifer Dunning, also a party zone chairwoman in Buffalo and a board member of the Pride Center of Western New York.
Four Erie County Democrats in the 27th Congressional District have also been put forth as Clinton delegates: Craig Bucki, a partner at the law firm of Phillips Lytle; Terrance Melvin, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists; Margaret Murphy, a partner at the law firm of Murphy Meyers; and Amherst Town Council member Ramona Popowich.
...
“This is a great privilege for me, professionally and personally,” said Zellner, who has led Erie County Democrats since 2012. “I have supported Secretary Clinton since her days as our United States senator, when she did so much for our region, and I am proud to have endorsed her at the outset.”

I know not everyone follows Buffalo politics that closely, for some reason, but there are some very strong local leaders in that list. So glad it is finally 2016.
And my special Hillary Clinton group only addendum: so glad to see that the preparation for the real fight has begun!
