MEET THE CANDIDATES EVENTS

In an effort to reach out to citizens and voters, Ulster County Legislature candidates Gary Bischoff, Josh Boughton, Bob Cappiello and Bonni Nechemias are hosting two “Meet the Candidates Coffee Events”. Citizens have the opportunity to meet and chat with the candidates. The Coffee Events will be held on Friday, November 2 at Dave’s Coffee Haus, and on Monday, November 5 at Mt. View Market, both from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. The candidates will buy a cup of coffee for all regular patrons and anyone interested in meeting the candidates.

Two events are scheduled. Each event runs from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

* Friday, November 2, Dave’s Tobacco Outfitters and Coffee Roast Haus, 107 Partition Street, Saugerties
* Monday, November 5, Tammy’s Mt. View Market, 322 Blue Mountain Road, County Rt. 35, Saugerties


Gary Bischoff said, “These ‘meet the candidates’ events are a great opportunity for voters to get to know us and to tell us what issues concern them, or just chat. We are interested in learning what issues you are concerned about. Please stop by on Friday and Monday morning. There may be other candidates and elected officials that stop by.”

Bonni Nechemias added, “With over twenty-one thousand people in this legislative district, it is impossible for us to get around to meet everyone. We reached out to as many people as possible, but we haven’t been able to make it to every home in the district. We look forward to meeting as many people as possible on Friday and Monday in an informal, friendly setting. Stop by between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. for a coffee and some conversation.”

These events are open to the public, and everyone is urged to stop in for a chat and a free coffee. For more information, on these events and information on the issues facing Ulster County, go to www.gary4ulster.com or www.saugertiesdems.org.

Gary Bischoff, Josh Boughton, Bob Cappiello and Bonni Nechemias are Democrats running for election to the Ulster County Legislature.
