Vote Row A ALL the way

a little reminder...

EVERY DEMOCRAT on the ballot

 needs the benefit of your voice.

Just because they are listed at the end doesn't mean they aren't important.

On the contrary.

Those holding the offices listed at the bottom of the ballot

have a greater impact on your everyday life than those at the top.

If you don't vote for the candidates at the end of the ballot, it doesn't matter a whole lot that you voted for those at the top.

It's that simple.

On November 2, make sure all the candidates get your attention.

Especially the really important ones (they save those for the end).

Below the federal and state races, there are several important municipal contests in Rensselaer County this year.

In both East Greenbush and Stephentown, town board races will determine control of the board.

East Greenbush Republicans have run a relentlessly negative campaign for months, and have little positive to offer the town except more of that. So voters should be sure to look for and fill in the circles of Democratic candidates Phil Malone and Sue Mangold.

Stephentown could have its first Democratic board majority in forever, if voters elect William Jennings at the bottom of the ballot.

In Schodack, Linda Underwood is running to be the only Democrat on that town board, and provide some checks and balances.

Several judge/justice positions are way down the ballot this year -- please find and support Chuck Thomas for Troy City Court Judge, Diane Schilling for East Greenbush Town Justice, and Rebecca Snyder for Grafton Town Justice.

And Sand Lake voters should support Eileen Biggins for Receiver of Taxes.

Of course, we encourage voters to vote Row A all the way, but that is no longer a simple matter of hitting every lever on the top ballot line. With the new paper ballots, voters have to be sure to carefully go through the ballot to the end, and fill in all the circles for all our Democratic candidates.
