Come On Over!

This is an extremely exciting time for Democrats. Record turnouts at Democratic primaries have been recorded across the nation. An interesting thing happened when some Saugerties voters went to vote in the Democratic Party primary on February 5th, they couldn’t. They were puzzled since many states allow voters from other political parties or those that are not enrolled in a party to vote in the Democratic Primary. That is not the case in New York State, where only registered Democrats can vote in the Democratic Party primary.
If you are currently not enrolled in the Democratic Party, you can enroll by registering at the Ulster County Board of Elections at 284 Wall Street, Kingston. You can download a voter Registration Form by going to www.co.ulster.ny.us/elections/

What We Stand For

The Saugerties Democratic Committee promotes progressive government that is open, honest and transparent on the local, state and national level. Acting through 32 committee members in 16 election districts, along with associate members, we have supported clean, publicly financed elections, voting machines with a paper trail for verification, proper treatment for our soldiers suffering the after effects of depleted uranium poisoning, the rejection of FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) that threatens our civil liberties, and a merger of Benedictine and Kingston Hospital that supports women’s reproductive rights.
The Presidential election has inspired involvement by people who may not have been active in local politics previously. We welcome your participation in the Saugerties Democratic Committee, we are here for you and we need your energy and good will. You can learn more about us on our website, www.saugertiesdems.org .

We meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 26th at 7p.m. at New World Home Cooking (Route 212, Saugerties). Please join us.
