ROME, N.Y. — Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to campaign with Republican congressional candidate Anthony Constantino in Rome on Monday, November 2, one day before Election Day at the JD Vance Rome rally.
Constantino’s campaign announced the event October 29. The get-out-the-vote rally is set for the Skydome Hangar, 592 Hangar Road, Suite 200. Doors open at 7 a.m., with the program scheduled to start at 9:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
This JD Vance Rome rally is an important opportunity for voters to engage with key political figures.
What attendees should know
The campaign directs attendees to its official ticket-registration page. Check that page before traveling for current entry instructions and any schedule changes.
The event is a campaign rally supporting Constantino’s bid for New York’s 21st Congressional District. It is not an Election Day polling location or a substitute for voting.
New York returns to standard time Sunday, November 1. Monday’s listed times therefore fall after the clock change.
This report does not provide a verified road-closure or parking plan. Motorists should check current Rome Police Department notices rather than assume all roads around Griffiss will remain open.
Counterdemonstration planned nearby
Indivisible Mohawk Valley says it plans a protest from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, November 2, at the corner of Hill Road and Floyd Avenue, across from Stewart’s. The group’s public event listing calls for nonviolent action and asks participants to de-escalate potential confrontations.
Organizers suggest parking at Mohawk Valley Community College’s Rome campus, at Floyd and Bell avenues, and walking along the sidewalk to Hill Road. That is the organizers’ recommendation; this report has not confirmed college permission to use the lot for the protest.
Traffic information reported by the Observer-Dispatch
In an October 30 report by the Observer-Dispatch, available on AOL, the newspaper cited a Rome Police Department statement announcing temporary Hangar Road closures at Otis Road and Chappie James Boulevard from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on November 2. Those times are Eastern Standard Time.
The report says the Sky Dome parking lot will be closed to the public, with rally-attendee parking available on Hangar Road across from the Griffiss International Airport building. It also reports that large trucks and tractor-trailers will not be allowed in the affected area. Drivers should allow extra time and consider another route.
These details are attributed to the Observer-Dispatch’s reporting. Utica Phoenix has not independently reviewed the original police notice. The rally parking described in that report is separate from the protest organizers’ suggested MVCC parking.
