Join Orange County Historian Johanna Porr Yaun and learn how two Orange County natives, William H. Seward of Florida and Geraldine Ferraro of Newburgh, rose to the highest levels of political influence both nearly reaching the office of the Presidency. They were from different centuries and different political parties but surprisingly there are many parallels in their rise to prominence and the legacies they left behind.
