A Positive Direction

By Chris Obstarczyk | Letters to the Editor

At its fundamental core, politics is local and this election Saratogians have a clear choice to elect a local slate of candidates that are focused on local issues that will move Saratoga Springs forward in a positive direction. The Republican endorsed slate is the most dynamic, diverse and qualified slate of candidates this city has ever seen and includes an unprecedented four incredible women running for city council. We have a small business owner and political independent for Mayor, a certified public accountant for Finance, a Domestic Violence Advocate for Accounts, a no-nonsense name we can trust for Public Safety, a proven, well-regarded Commissioner of Public Works and compassionate and proven taxpayer watchdogs for County Supervisor. The overwhelming issue facing Saratoga Springs is safety and the notion of our city being a safe place to live and raise a family has been called into question as of late. If you value a safe and vibrant Saratoga, back our police and are tired of protesters blocking our streets and harassing patrons at restaurants, the team on Row B are your candidates. When casting your vote this election cycle, whether it be by absentee, early voting or on Election Day on November 2nd, Heidi Owen West for Mayor, JoAnne Kiernan for Finance, Samantha Guerra for Accounts, Tracey LaBelle for Public Safety, Skip Scirocco for Public Works and Matt Veitch and John Safford for County Supervisor (Vote for 2) are the candidates that have Saratogians’ best interests and safety at hand and will get the job done with integrity and civility.
