The Millerton News - October 23, 2025

I’m happy to be representing District because Northern Dutchess County needed an advocate who makes sure our tax dollars are going to the critical services and infrastructure that our communities need. We need to address the housing crisis in Dutchess County and build infrastructure that prepares us for a changing climate. In our rural towns, we need reliable and consistent emergency services and broadband access.
