Vote for Robin Dalton

By Bill Murray | Letters to the Editor

In this year’s election, the current Saratoga Springs Commissioner of Public Safety is the best choice for Mayor of Saratoga Springs. The other candidates have lots of promises, but Commissioner Dalton has lots of accomplishments. After taking office in 2020, Commissioner Dalton immediately took charge of the City’s successful effort to protect Saratogians from the COVID-19 pandemic. She searched every day for vaccine supplies and then secured appointments for residents to be among the first to receive life-saving vaccinations. Then she led the City’s response to the nationwide wave of demonstrations against racial injustice, calmly assuring that the right to protest was respected and that protesters and the rest of the community were protected from violence. Under her leadership during the worst financial crisis in the City’s history, not even a single police officer or firefighter was laid off, and despite claims to the contrary, Saratoga Springs continues to be one of the safest small cities in the United States. After more than twenty years of discussion, debate, and delay, she became the first Public Safety Commissioner to win City Council funding and approval of the long-needed third emergency services station on the City’s east side, and then implementing the approval by awarding on September 7, 2021, a contract for construction management which will allow for a start of construction by Spring 2022. To continue Robin Dalton’s successful leadership, vote for her as Mayor on November 2nd on ballot line F, the Saratoga Stronger Together line.
