October 31 – November 6 , 2025 –  Joseph Ogden

As a citizen of Saratoga Springs, a former deputy mayor, and as a former member of the Saratoga Springs Democratic Committee, I must express my abject disappointment in the political tactics employed by the City Democratic Committee, their allies, and some of their endorsed candidates this political season.  They have repeatedly said that One Saratoga accepted money from Elise Stefanik, which was disproven after a review of publicly available campaign finance records.  They mislead people about a city water report to make the incumbent DPW commissioner look bad. They try to scare people into thinking that One Saratoga working with republicans, independents and democrats alike somehow equates to being MAGA – a gross distortion that many of these folks would likely admit privately. Spreading disinformation for political advantage is the most MAGA thing  currently happening in Saratoga politics – an irony seemingly lost on some individuals.

If you’re tired of a City Council making news for the wrong reasons or if you’re interested in advancing effective bipartisan leadership, then vote Row E for the One Saratoga candidates who will bring their qualifications, as well as their distaste for embarrassing political nonsense, to City Hall this January.
