I'm incredibly proud of the Mohawk Valley Lightning team!

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, these young athletes raised $650 to support local breast cancer patients through the St. Mary’s Healthcare Foundation. Proud to see our Montgomery County youth stepping up to support their neighbors and give back to the community.

Thank you to the players, coaches and families for showing what community spirit is all about!

It’s great to see investments that help people enjoy the outdoors and discover more of Montgomery County.

Our Tourism Infrastructure Grant program helped make a new trailhead information kiosk at Landis Arboretum possible. With approximately 4 miles of trails located within the county (and room to expand) this project will help visitors find their way and learn about other places to visit, eat and explore nearby.

Landis welcomes thousands of visitors each year and we want to make sure they see what else Montgomery County has to offer.

Today, we celebrated the opening of Montgomery County Sheriff's Office - NY new EMS facility. This is a major investment in public safety and a proud day for our county.

I’m especially proud of Sheriff Smith and his team for seeing the need, pursuing funding and helping make this project a reality.

Thank you to everyone who helped get us here. This is an investment in our first responders and the safety of our residents for years to come.

Laurie and I stopped at the Amen Place Soup Kitchen for the chicken BBQ. Nice to say hi, support them, and visit with some folks that knew my dad.

What a morning in Montgomery County! We celebrated the progress being made on Amazon’s newest robotics fulfillment center on the 5S corridor.

I’m so proud of our team at the Montgomery County Business Development Center and grateful for our partnerships with the Town of Florida and Amazon.

It’s hard to imagine what 750 new jobs will bring to our community and the surrounding region.

We’re proud to have Amazon here, and we’re looking forward to seeing the doors open, people going to work and this investment becoming part of our story.

Early Detection Saves Lives:

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Representatives of St. Mary's Healthcare's Cancer Services Program joined Montgomery County officials on Sept. 22 as the county formally proclaimed October 2026 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The recognition highlights the importance of breast cancer education, prevention and early detection, while also acknowledging the efforts of organizations that help connect community members with lifesaving screening services.

Breast cancer remains one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, and regular mammograms continue to play a critical role in detecting the disease early when treatment is often most effective.

The county's proclamation also recognizes the work of the Cancer Services Program serving Fulton, Montgomery and Schenectady counties by helping eligible residents access breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screenings.

While breast cancer primarily affects women, men can develop breast cancer as well. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity for everyone to learn the signs and symptoms of the disease, understand personal risk factors and prioritize preventive health care.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as an important reminder to prioritize preventive care.

Early detection often leads to more treatment options and better outcomes, making regular screening one of the most effective tools in the fight against breast cancer.

Thank you to the Montgomery County Board and Mike Pepe, County Legislature Chairman and County Executive, Pete Vrooman for your support.

No Health Insurance? Age 40-64? Give us a call to see if you are eligible for a free mammogram, Pap test or colon cancer screening.

Call today 518-770-6817.

I was honored to join the Tri County Swiftwater Rescue Team, their families and fellow community members as we celebrated their receipt of the Higgins and Langley Memorial Award.

This recognition is a testament to the training, teamwork and dedication of the men and women who answered the call and worked together to save a life.

It was an honor to recognize the entire team and all those who played a role in bringing this internationally recognized award home to our community!
