Bonanza was appointed in April to fill the vacancy left when former Councilwoman Brennan Kearney stepped down to take the Dutchess County Legislature seat vacated by Joel Tyner, who resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment. Bonanza had been one of the six people, all Democrats, who had sought to fill Tyner’s former seat. Pulver, 47, of 19 Will Tremper Drive, is the owner of A+C architecture and construction firm.

Helped plan infrastructure upgrades in a park.

I have been impressed with the quality and competency of our operations, the dedication and knowledge of our staff, and the commitment of our Town Board. I have been involved with planning for infrastructure upgrades in our park, working on plans for a biking and walking trail connecting the Amtrak station with the Village, and began implementing the Conway School Plan to plant sustainable green landscapes throughout our public parks and lands. I hope to be elected to a second term so I can continue to contribute to our community. Please vote on November 2.

Said he plans to focus on zoning and building issues.

Pulver said he doesn’t have a list of priorities that should be addressed by the town, but added that he believes his professional career can be a benefit to the town. “I can’t say that I have some big direction at this moment,” he said. “But I’m sort of a nuts-and-bolts building guy, so I’m interested in change and zoning and building. So I think that’s where I’ll focus, but I’ll have to pull that together.”
