East Greenbush Dems Set Slate

At their nominating caucus on August 22nd, East Greenbush Democrats endorsed the candidates they will be supporting in the upcoming Town Elections on November 8th.

Supervisor Rick McCabe, Council Members Phil Malone and Sue Mangold, and Tax Receiver Toni Murphy all received unanimous support for reelection. Democratic Chair Kim Halloran was pleased with the turnout for the caucus, and says she is enthused about the coming race. Since the Democrats regained a majority on the Town Board in last year’s special election much progress has been made. Major economic strides have been taken with the beginning of the Fed Ex project, the expansion of the NYISO facility, and the settlement of the outstanding water payments from Rensselaer. Just those three accomplishments have brought millions in new revenue into the Town’s coffers. “I feel with the advances in our business community, the upgrading of Public Works services, and the improvements in Parks and Recreation programs our team has a strong record to build on,” Halloran commented.

In addition to their participation in the general election, all of these nominees are pursuing ballot positions in the September 13th Primary Vote as write in candidates for the Independence, Conservative, and Working Family Party Lines.
