Ulster Democratic Committee Caucus Results

Saugerties Democratic Committee News

Last night was a monumental victory for the Ulster County Democratic Party. In contested races Julian Schriebman won 17,000-6000 and Ian Brody won 13,000-5000. Our new Executive Board that includes Karen Markisensis as VP and Stuart Fraser as secretary represents a great balance of personalities and experience.

Additionally, Kathy Mihm was elected at the Democratic Elections Commissioner for Ulster County.

This has been a very difficult battle over the last year or two and Saugerties proudly has been right in the middle of it. We had a tremendous turnout of our committee last night, even with illness, and pre-planned trips, we had 96% of our committee present.

We have seen tremendous changes in our town government and county committee due to a strong grassroots effort towards open, progressive government by all of you. It is my hope that a belief in "bottom-up" government will take Barack into the White House.

Once again I can only thank you for your energy and support.

Mike
