Burger Launches Candidacy for Supervisor 

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Attorney Sarah Burger officially launched her candidacy last week to become the third candidate in the two-seat race for city supervisor at the county level. 

The event was held at Saratoga Casino Hotel March 12, and Burger, a Democrat, was introduced by former Saratoga Springs Mayor Joanne Yepsen. A number of current and former city officials were also in attendance – Dillon Moran, Hank Kuczynski, and Bill McTygue, among them.  

Burger introduced herself as an experienced litigator and negotiator who has successfully resolved countless disputes on behalf of working people for unpaid wages, discrimination, harassment and retaliation. She also previously served as chair of the Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee.  

Current Supervisor Michele Madigan (D) previously announced her candidacy for Saratoga Springs city mayor. Current and longtime Supervisor Matt Veitch (R) – who also currently serves as vice-chairperson of the Board of Supervisors – was endorsed by the Republican Party for re-election as supervisor. In addition to Burger, the Democratic Party has endorsed current city Finance Commissioner Minita Sanghvi for supervisor. 

Elections will be held in November for the two supervisor positions as well as for all five Saratoga Springs City Council seats.
