Rooted in the Hudson Valley

I’m a lifelong Hudson Valley resident, proud to call Saugerties home with my husband, John, and our two children. John works locally as an electrical engineer, and together we chose Saugerties as the perfect place to raise our family.

About Ann Peters

I graduated from Marist University and built my early career in manufacturing as a project manager, gaining valuable experience in leadership, problem-solving, and working with diverse teams.

After starting our family, I dedicated myself to volunteering extensively while being a full-time stay-at-home mom — from youth programs to community events and environmental projects — because I believe in giving back to the place that gives so much to us.

Now I work for myself as a digital media consultant, helping small businesses, nonprofits, and political campaigns build their presence, connect with their communities, and amplify their impact.

Results

Resolution No. 6 - February 2026

Co-sponsored legislation establishing a five-year agreement with the City of Kingston to revise how Ulster County sales tax revenue is distributed to municipalities, improving fiscal stability and predictability for local governments.

“Strengthening the guaranteed share for our towns and villages helps municipalities plan ahead as costs continue to rise, while still allowing them to benefit when sales tax revenues come in stronger than expected,” said Legislator Laura Donovan.

“This sales tax sharing plan provides an increase in stable, reliable funding with the opportunity for towns to benefit from higher-than-expected sales tax revenues,” said Legislator Ann Peters.
“Ulster County has also joined many other counties across New York State and included a Medicaid Cap trigger within this Agreement. This new provision safeguards essential services in the event that NYS shifts Medicaid funding responsibilities to counties.”

Legislature Approves Sales Tax Sharing Agreement with City of Kingston - Ulster County

Co-sponsored a resolution seeking authority to impose a surcharge on county income taxes paid by the highest earners.

Peters was a cosponsor of the resolution asking the state for approval to levy a surcharge on the income taxes paid by the county’s highest earners.

“The Trump Administration’s Big Beautiful Bill passed in 2025 will add unprecedented financial burdens and devastating cuts to essential services for all counties in NYS,” she said. The ability to levy the surcharge will provide the county with options should it need to raise additional revenue to make up for those anticipated shortfalls, Peters added.
