Join us at a fundraiser in support of Tracey Rex

Primary Day - Please vote!

Today is Primary Day and for the first time in years, members of the Working Families and Independence parties have the opportunity to vote for candidates who really reflect the ideals of those parties.

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I am a true progressive. Operative word: PROGRESS. That is something the Town of Schodack hasn't had in decades. Our town officials block real progress and promote projects that benefit their friends, family members, and contributors at the expense of residential neighborhoods. For them, government is about power, money, and getting jobs for their friends and family members.

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I am a true independent. I don't do things because someone tell me to do them - I do things because they are the right thing to do.

The first step to bringing true representation to Schodack is voting for me and my running mates - Tracey Rex for Town Board and Jen Sober for Town Justice - in today's primary.

And as that old adage says, the longest journey begins with a single step.

Take that journey with us.

Happy Labor Day!

I know many people don't like labor unions these days. They forget how people fought and died for the working conditions we now take for granted - a 40-hour work week, paid leave, the end to child labor laws, and safer working conditions.

When labor unions strike for higher wages and get them, all pay goes up.

When labor unions strike for better, safer working conditions, the working conditions of all workers get safer.

Here in Schodack, town employees enjoy the working conditions earned through the blood, sweat, and lives of union workers.

But Schodack residents don't all have an equal chance at those good jobs.

You have to register to vote in the Republican party - but that isn't enough - you have to be related to someone who is powerful in the Republican party.

This is one of the things I will try to change when I am elected.

The best, most qualified person should get the job, regardless of party affiliation or family relationship.

It is the right thing to do.

Primary for the Working Families and Independence party lines is Thursday, Sept. 10

I just spent the entire evening writing postcards to remind friends to vote in the Working Families and Independence party primaries on Thursday, Sept. 10.

My running mates and I were interviewed and endorsed by the Working Families Party, but the GOP did an "opportunity to ballot" to attempt to steal the line.

Please make sure you vote for the REAL WFP-aligned candidates - Linda Underwood, Tracey Rex and Jen Sober.

For the Independence Party - please WRITE IN the names.

Thanks!
