I would like to thank the Esopus, Kingston and Ulster Democratic committees for carry petitions to get me on the ballot for the Ulster County Legislature. Your hard work and dedication is much appreciated, committee people are the backbone of our party and the unsung hero’s of it. I know there’s a million other things you could be doing on a winters day than knocking on peoples doors and asking them to sign petitions to get our candidates on the ballot.
Also a shout to the Working Families Party for your cross endorsement, also very welcome.
Again thank you to all.

Happy Easter !
And Passover !
I hope everyone has wonderful and safe holidays.
