Re-election!

Congratulations to District Attorney Beth Cozzolino on her fourth term win!

Youth Court at Taconic Hills

Columbia County's first Youth Court will be opening at Taconic Hills High School thanks to the hard work of Justice Reggie Crowley, former Superintendent Dave Paciencia, P-L Schroeppel and Kevin Thiemann. This youth project will be an instrumental first step in keeping our children away from crime, help them understand the long term consequences of crime and make them better, more responsible adults.

Senator Steve Saland helped us secure $6,000 in funding to make this possible.

Thank you all for all of your hard work and thank you to the parents and students of Taconic Hills High School who will make this project come to life.

One Voice

Last nights primary proved something important. Even in an "off year election" people really do care about their elected representatives. About 30% of the registered Republicans and Conservatives came out on a Tuesday night to perform their civic duty and voted.

As we move from the primary to the November General Election we should all pride ourselves on our commitment to democracy.

One of the wonders of Columbia County is our ability to see beyond politics, to look past parties and alliances, to thoughtfully consider each candidate for their virtues, their records of achievement and to cast our vote accordingly.

There are no "red states" or "blue states" in local politics. There's only your neighbor, your friends, the people you run into on Main Street, bump into at the market, wave to on the road, see at the high school game.

Criminals don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, if you're Conservative or Liberal.

Victims of crime don't follow party lines.

Your vote sends a message.

Thank You

Beth's primary win last night was the result of the good people of Columbia County speaking with one voice. No election is won without lots of hard work - walking the streets, making phone calls, putting up signs, talking to friends, getting out the vote.

To each and every person who helped in any way big or small, Beth thanks you.

To everyone who wanted to help there's still a general election coming in November and plenty of time to pitch in!

Give Angelo Valentino a call at 329-1636, tell him you want to help.

VOTE TODAY

Today is Primary Day, and we urge you all to go to the polls!

If you're not sure where to go, call the Columbia County Board of Elections at 828-3115 and they will gladly tell you where to cast that all important vote.

Thanks for voting!

Attack Calls

It has come to our attention that a good number of voters are being harrassed, in their homes, by vicious attack calls.

We want you to know that these calls are not coming from the Friends of Cozzolino, Beth Cozzolino or anyone associated with Beth's campaign, despite what the caller might say.

We've been told that they have been identifing themselves are being part of Beth's campaign.

This is an outright lie.

These calls are a desperate attempt by a very desperate candidate to KEEP VOTERS FROM THE POLLS.

We're very sorry that you've had to be subjected to them and again, promise you, they are not from us.
