ALBANY - A mix of Republican Party leaders and local officials will represent the mid-Hudson Valley as Donald Trump delegates at the Republican National Convention in July.

Donald Trump waves to supporters after winning the New York Republican presidential primary.

Dutchess County Sheriff Adrian "Butch" Anderson and Dutchess GOP Chair Michael McCormack will be among the 89 New York delegates supporting Trump at the convention, according to state Board of Elections records.

Trump, the Manhattan businessman and presumptive Republican presidential nominee, won all but six of the 95 available Republican delegates in the New York primary April 19. But unlike Democrats, Republicans in New York don't cast ballots for specific delegates — that's decided later by party leaders.

In recent weeks, party leaders in each congressional district have met to elect exactly whom the delegates will be.

Trump won all six delegates available in the two congressional districts that touch Dutchess and Ulster counties.

In the 18th district — which includes the southwest portion of Dutchess, part of Westchester and all of Orange and Putnam — Trump's delegates all hail from outside Dutchess: Putnam County GOP Chair Anthony Scannapieco, Deputy Orange County Elections Commissioner Courtney Greene and Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus. Putnam County Executive Mary Ellen Odell is listed as an alternate.

The 19th district, a wide-ranging district that includes the rest of Dutchess and all or part of 10 other counties, will be represented by McCormack, Green County Elections Commissioner Brent Bogardus and Anderson, who was an honorary co-chair of Trump's New York campaign.

The Republican National Convention will be held July 18-21 in Cleveland.

Via the Board of Elections, here's a full list of the delegates in each congressional district:
