The Saratoga Springs Republican Committee official page. We believe the government exists to serve the people it represents. It takes a community.

We believe in helping people to help themselves. We believe in protecting the most vulnerable of our citizens at a responsible cost to the taxpayers. We believe that by working together as a community we can solve problems. We believe less government is better. We embrace all segments of our community regardless of race, gender, age, or other factors. We believe that dedication and hard work is the answer to resolving the is-sues in our community. We believe in promoting a strong economic environment. We believe in fostering private enterprise and small business. We believe in lower taxes and less government regulations. We believe in transparency which is essential in local government so we can see where and how our tax dollars are being spent. We believe our veterans are due respect and we support our veterans and are grateful for the service they have provided. We believe in safer schools in which our children are protected. We believe in preserving the charm and historic nature of the City of Saratoga Springs. We are all here because of what ‘Saratoga Springs’ means to us, whether it’s a great place to raise our family in a safe environment as a newcomer, a generational home base to native Saratogians, or the economics of our downtown area, Saratoga has brought us here because of its special draw. We believe in protecting and promoting what is in the best interest of our city and this community. We believe that adding revenue streams is not always the answer to government and we support and promote the streamlined use of our tax dollars being used wisely. We support economic development in our downtown core and support economic growth and prosperity. We believe that making our downtown attractive to additional business is important. We support our ‘City in the Country’ development plan and encourage the use of our greenbelt area for recreation and pleasure whether it be biking, hiking, or trail use. We believe the commission form of our city government and current city charter have served Saratoga Springs well, and we are committed to this commission form of government. We believe in the Constitution of the United States of America and will fight to uphold the freedoms, independence, and liberties it provides.

Longtime county public servant, small-business owner and party leader brings nearly four decades of service to the role.

SARATOGA COUNTY, N.Y. (October 22, 2026) The Saratoga County Republican Committee is proud to announce the unanimous selection of Anna Stanko as its new interim chairwoman, making her the first woman to lead the committee. Stanko was selected by the committee’s Executive Committee at a meeting this evening and will serve as interim chairwoman through February 2027.

She has served the residents of Saratoga County since 1988 and currently works as the county's Director of Real Property. She also co-owns and operates Stanko and Sons Heating and Cooling with her husband, giving her a firsthand view of what it takes to run a small business in the county.

Anna Stanko: “I'm humbled to be the first woman to lead this committee, and I hope it shows every young woman in our county that there's a place for her at the table. Saratoga County is where I raised my children, built a business with my husband and spent my career serving our neighbors. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves alongside our committee members in every corner of this county.”

Appeal Dismissed: Former Commissioner Dillon Moran’s Conviction for Concealing Public Records Stands

Yesterday, Saratoga County Court dismissed in its entirety the appeal of former Commissioner of Accounts Dillon Moran. Moran’s conviction on all three counts of unlawfully obstructing public access to records now stands.

In August, 2025, following two days of testimony, Saratoga Springs City Court Judge Jeffrey Wait found Moran guilty on all three counts and ordered him to pay a $660 fine. After the verdict, Moran and his attorney said publicly that they would appeal. That appeal has now been tossed in full.

The charges arose from a complaint filed by Saratoga Springs resident and former city Republican chairman Mike Brandi after Moran, then serving as Commissioner of Accounts, denied having records responsive to three separate Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests. Moran had signed sworn certifications before a notary saying no such records existed. The court found that he did have responsive records and had unlawfully concealed them.

Testimony at trial showed a pattern of conduct by Moran:

He kept and used two separate phones, apparently to avoid his disclosure obligations under FOIL.

He used his personal Facebook Messenger account extensively to conduct City business and then concealed those records from public release.

He made a threatening phone call to local resident Bob Millis, warning that he would “unleash his army” against Millis after Millis submitted FOIL requests about him.

The City’s former Records Access Officer testified that she had repeated difficulty getting Moran to comply with FOIL. She said he was “annoyed” by the requests and had no intention of complying unless a court compelled him.

Moran chose not to testify in his own defense.

Moran was defeated at the ballot box in November 2025.

Mike Brandi: “Today’s ruling closes the book on this case and confirms what the trial made clear: Dillon Moran lied and broke the law to keep public records out of public hands. FOIL exists so that residents can see how their government works. No official, however powerful, gets to decide that the public has no right to know. Transparency is the law, not a courtesy.”
