Michael Hein and Susan Zimet, announced candidates for Ulster County Executive, participated in a Candidate’s Forum on April 22nd at New World Home Cooking. The Saugerties Democratic Committee sponsored the Forum.
This was the first opportunity for voters in Ulster County to have both candidates together at the same venue answering questions from the public. Many of the questions concerned economic growth and the candidate’s vision for the future of Ulster County.
News was made when both candidates’s pledged to support the winner should there be a Democratic primary while foregoing the opportunity to run on a minor party line. This pledge of unity was extremely important to insure that the next county executive is a Democrat.
The Ulster County Democratic convention will take place on Monday, June 2, 2008 at a venue yet to be announced. All elected committee members will have the opportunity to vote for their candidate of choice and carry their designating petitions.
