With the 2008 primary season having passed yesterday, it is coming time to look forward to the future.
The near future holds the General Election for President and other Federal offices in November. I doubt it is necessary to hype the point that after 8 long years of disasterous republican leadership it is time to vote for change and elect Barack Obama to the Presidency.
It has also been a breath of fresh air to have a real Representative in the Halls of Congress these past 2 years. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand has made herself and her office more accessible then any other New York politician in recent memory. She listens to our concerns and responds honestly and openly. Whether we agree or disagree with any particular position of hers or she with ours, her approach to the office of U.S. Representative is exactly what it ought to be... a representative of the people... and she richly deserves re-election and we richly deserve her kind of representation.
So... looking further forward... 2009 will hold our town elections once again. The offices of:
Town Supervisor currently held by Tom Sherman;
Highway Superintendent, currently held by the indicted Neil Gardner;
Town Clerk, held by Patricia Gallup;
Town Tax Collector, held by Ruth Reiger;
and two of the four Town Council positions, held by Democrats Chris Demick and P.J. Roder -
... will be up for election.
The Stephentown Democratic Committee is also now formally reconstituted for the next 2 years with Andrew C. White and Bill Sell as Committee members for District 1 (north of Rt. 43) and Bill Jennings and Mary Grant as Committee members for District 2 (south of Rt. 43).
Anyone interested in helping out the committee, running for one of the offices, or getting involved in some other way is encouraged to contact one of our four committee members.

OPEN LETTER TO STEPHENTOWN RESIDENTS
The Stephentown Democratic candidates are united in their support for a Strategic Planning process to develop a vision for the future of Stephentown. We anticipate a one-two year, communitywide process to establish the shared values and strategic goals that will guide Stephentown as we celebrate our 225th anniversary in 2009 and move forward towards our 250th anniversary in 2034.
We cannot plot our course if we do not know where we are going.
There have been tremendous changes in demographics, land values, technology and life styles, in Stephentown and in the rest of the world, since the last significant planning process. We currently find ourselves in a very rapidly changing 21st century that is putting tremendous pressure on small, rural towns to adapt and adjust, or risk being left behind.
Now is the time to update our strategic plans and prepare for the future.
Stephentown has many resources. We have a rich heritage from when we were the 9th largest community in the United States in 1790 and a crossroads for America’s post-revolutionary migration to the West. We have beautiful hills and valleys, generating magnificent vistas. We are centered at the intersection of two major highways that carry large numbers of people to recreational, cultural, educational and business destinations in New York, Massachusetts and Vermont. We are next door to Jiminy Peak, which has undergone major growth over the past decade, and are close to several clusters of condominiums and time-share units, possibly including one in Stephentown. We have plenty of room for prudent construction of additional housing, small businesses and even cultural and entertainment locales of our own. People come to Stephentown to enjoy its rural setting, while also pursuing productive lives. We must find a way to build on these strengths while avoiding the pitfalls that other communities are experiencing.
The Stephentown Democratic candidates are:
Terry SYKES – HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT
Andrew WHITE – SUPERVISOR
Scott McEWAN – TOWN COUNCIL
Bill JENNINGS – TOWN COUNCIL
If elected on November 6, these candidates will work with existing Town Council members to begin a community-wide Strategic Planning process to develop a vision for the future of Stephentown.
We ask for your support on Election Day to start this important process.
PLEASE VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6

Andrew C. White for Town Supervisor
My Dear Friends,
I am running for the office of Town Supervisor in the town of Stephentown, Rensselaer County, NY.
It's all Howard Dean's fault.
Here we are three and a half years later and we are preparing to turn control of ostensibly solid republican Stephentown over to Democrats. Good things start with just those first few steps.
We have a blog web site for the Stephentown Democratic Committee (contributions gratefully accepted).
And I've just created a candidate page over at DFA-Link.
Shortly after Gov. Dean ended his Presidential campaign we hosted him for a speech in Albany, NY. During this speech he urged, as he always did, that we each look around us and see how we could get involved. Run for office yourself, he said. Or, join your local democratic committee. Or, work on behalf of a local candidate.
For me the opening was obvious. There was no Democratic Committee in my town and hadn't been in about 8 years. So I spoke with a few folks I knew in town that felt as I did and we formed a committee. Our first task was to win the town for John Kerry in 2004.
86.4% of Democrats turned out to vote in 2004. 78.8% of the entire town showed up to vote. George Bush won this very Republican town but only by a total of 38 votes, 692-654, when it was all totaled up.
In 2003 the republicans ran unopposed in town elections with votes totals ranging from 343-0 to 411-0.
In 2005 we held our local town and county elections. We ran 2 young men for Town Council and both won by almost a 2 to 1 margin.
Chris Demick - Stephentown Town Councilman (496 votes - 262)
P.J. Roder - Stephentown Town Councilman (459 - 298)
Incumbent Democratic Town Justice Cyril Grant ran on both lines with 375 votes on the Democratic line to 373 on the Republican line.
We also elected a man named Bob Jacon, a Dean supporter, to a newly created County Judgeship. This position had been created at the behest of State Senate Majority Leader and County Boss, Joe Bruno, so he could shuffle his hand-picked, incompetent, District Attorney into it. We beat him in the town and the rest of the county.
In 2006 we elected Kirsten Gillibrand to Congress...
(of course we had a little help)
... and Eliot Spitzer to Governor of New York by overwhelming margins.
This year we are running a slate of 4 candidates for Town Offices:
Terry Sykes for Highway Superintendent
Bill Jennings for Town Council
Scott McEwan for Town Council
and me, Andrew C. White, for Town Supervisor.
The Supervisors seat is an open one as 16 year incumbent Mike Angley is retiring. First term Councilman, Tom Sherman, is running on the Republican line against me for Supervisor. Incumbent Councilman Larry Eckhardt will be joined by Independence Party member Mark Prescott for Town Council. Incumbent Highway Superintendent Neil Gardner is also running for re-election... for now at least.
"All Politics is Local" a wise and experienced politician once said. He was right. Another, currently Chair of the Democratic National Committee has strongly advocated a policy of challenging Republicans everywhere.
Stephentown is considered a Republican bastion. A small rural hilltown with about 1750 voters. There are just under 700 Republicans, just over 400 Democrats, a smattering of third party members, and about 460 unaffiliated voters. Ever since we started working this town in 2004 those unaffiliated voters have shown where their real interests are by voting Democratic at all levels of government.
In fact a small but significant number of Republicans in town have been consistently voting Democratic as the Republican party has moved further and further away from the values that it once held.
Stephentown (pdf map) is in the southeast corner of Rensselaer County, the home of the highest ranking Republican left in New York, Uncle Joe Bruno. Rensselaer County has a roughly 50-50 split of Democratic and Republican voters but is dominated by Republicans at the town, city, county, and state levels of government due to Joe Bruno's control of the purse strings and his minions manipulation and control of third parties (and, on occasion, some demorats as well).
We are on the verge of taking the most Republican of towns out from under Uncle Joe thereby setting the stage for the end of Uncle Joe's career and obstruction of Gov. Eliot Spitzer and reform minded Democratic State Senators from actually working on solving the dysfunction of New York State government.
At the same time we strengthen the hold of newly elected Democratic Representative Kirsten Gillibrand on her district.
It's all local.
Locally, what this campaign is really all about, is modern day republicanism writ small. Cronyism, closed government for the benefit of a few rather than all citizens in town. As seen in the article linked above there appears to be some serious issues of possible illegal activity, corruption, fraud, unpermitted mining, cronyism, no-bid contracts, etc in the Highway Department. The State Attorney General's office has just accepted a plea deal with one player and appears to be poised to charge the incumbent Highway Superintendent. The Town Council has previously looked the other way until various parts started to become public. Attempts by the new Democratic members to reign in the abuses have been shunted to the side and they have been locked out of the decision making process.
Stephentown is a beautiful rural hilltown...
... with some of the best people. We have a rich history, a great location boarding a state park, ski resorts, Shaker History, Revolutionary War battle sites, a great hiking trail along the Taconic Ridge, attractions across the border in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and an easy drive to both Pittsfield, Mass, and Albany, NY.
Yet we take advantage of none of it. We have very few businesses in town. People driving through see no reason to stop and browse around or spend their money here. There are few job opportunities for our kids.
And as my opponent was forced to admit at the Town Budget hearing Monday night... "We have no plan."
We do... and we intend to change all that. Along with the other folks on our slate...
... we intend to take a close look at what has worked in other successful small towns. We'll look at what natural resources we have. We'll solicit input from everyone in the community on what they would like to see Stephentown become as we approach our 225th (2009) and 250th (2034) Anniversaries. We'll work hard to development that vision into a plan for the town. Small business, community development, opportunities for our kids, ourselves, and our vistors.
This is what it is all about. We can do it here. And if we can do it here. You can do it whereever you are.

I have been endorsed by my U.S. Representative Kirsten Gillibrand:

Democratic Party Rises from Ashes in Stephentown
Democrat Party Rises From Ashes In Stephentown
11/11/05
By David Flint
Upset winners in Tuesday’s election for Town Council in Stephentown are Democrats Chris Demick (left) and P.J. Roder.
(David Flint photo)
Andrew White’s quest to reestablish the Democratic Party in Stephentown, begun about a year and a half ago, appears to have borne some fruit. Former Elections Commissioner Tom Wade said then that he had worked with White before he became the new Chairman of the Town Democratic Committee and knew him to be a person who sets goals and accomplishes them.
In Tuesday’s election the two Democratic candidates for Town Council, Chris Demick and P.J. Roder, were far and away the top two vote getters, Demick with 473 votes and Roder with 439. Incumbent Craig Chittenden followed with 274 votes and Brad Humphrey trailed with 243. The two will join Cyril Grant, re-elected without opposition to a third term as Town Justice, as the only elected Democrats among Town officials.
Demick said he was overwhelmed by the results of the election. “I believe the town residents feel it’s time for a change and the incredible turnout was proof enough for me,” he said. “The road ahead will be a great challenge, one that I look forward to with excitement and optimism. I’ll do my best for all the residents of Stephentown. Thank you all.”
Roder was also encouraged to see the large turnout of some 700 voters. “It doesn’t stop with the election, though,” he said. “I hope to see the same enthusiasm at upcoming Town Board meetings. The residents’ insights will be most valuable and we hope to hear their concerns on various issues facing the town.” He expressed thanks to all those who supported them. Roder felt that the time they spent getting out and seeing the townspeople, talking face to face, was what influenced the voter turnout and led to their success in the election. “And the nice weather didn’t hurt,” he added.
