Chatham Dems President and CCDC Representative

I support the Democratic Party’s commitment to government that ensures a safe, inclusive, fair society where people’s rights are protected. I value the cultures and contributions to our society from people of all backgrounds and want immigration reform. I believe we will thrive when we have equal opportunities to access adequate housing, health care, education, employment, and a safe environment.

Why I am a Democrat? Inclusiveness, diversity, racial justice, civil rights, voting rights, disability rights, women’s rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, affordable healthcare for all, a fair economy for everyone, fair housing, food security for all, equal opportunity for all, high-quality public education for all, and respect for knowledge and science. I believe we are put on this earth to care for one another.

As a lifelong Democrat, I advocate for principled leadership, economic fairness, environmental protection, healthcare and educational opportunities for all, and the protection of voting rights for all citizens.

Chatham Dems Vice-Chairperson and CCDC Representative

I am an active member of the Democratic Party because I believe that only the engaged participation of citizens can create a good government, one that is open, inclusive, well-organized and effective, and is the best vehicle for a community to make real its promises of economic, social and environmental justice.

Chatham Dems Secretary

I support the Democratic Party because I believe in acknowledging and actively working towards change on issues such as economic equity, affordable healthcare, environmental stewardship, reproductive freedom, and access to childcare and quality education. This commitment to serving the common good creates and sustains a true sense of community and provides a path toward a future that I want for my children.

My family has had our land in Old Chatham since the nineteen-fifties. I moved here when I was about six months old. Growing up, I went to school in New Lebanon, where my parents were school teachers. I decided to get involved with the Chatham Democrats in the early nineties to become involved in the community. I have kept some level of involvement ever since, and it has been very good for me. Through the Chatham Democrats, I have met and am friendly with many people in the Town that I did not get to know because much of my social life was centered in New Lebanon. I value all of those people in different ways.

CCDC Representative

I support the Democratic Party because I believe everyone is entitled to equal rights and opportunities regardless of race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation. I am a proud to identify with a party that believes healthcare and education is a human right which should not be dependent on someone’s ability to pay.

Today we are tasked with averting both an existential threat to our democracy and an existential threat to the climate. Both are from a common provocateur that employs disinformation and hatred to foster division within our communities and our nation. I am active in the Democratic Party because it has at the forefront two immense objectives: to uplift democracy and to end the era of fossil fuel.

CCDC Representative

My support of the Democratic Party has been life long. I grew up in a family that taught me to value integrity, inclusivity, dignity and respect for all. The Democratic Party mirrors these important values – especially today with health care for all, individual safety, and democracy all in need of our support. I will continue to fight so these rights will be available for everyone.
