Democratic Club Elects Officers
The Schodack Democratic Club
held its annual election of officers and discussed the local election results
at its December meeting.
“Though this year's election results were not the victory we hoped for, there is definite cause for optimism in the final tallies,” said Town Democratic Chair Elizabeth Gable. “Frank Curtis was believed to be invincible because of his years in service to the Town and his long-time incumbent status. He and Linda were lined up head to head on the ballot and Linda only lost by 214 votes, which in our traditionally Republican town is a very good showing for the Democrats, especially up against the incumbent we assumed was bullet-proof.”
The final numbers were: Linda 1467, Frank Curtis 1681, Mike Kenney 2068.
The Schodack Democrats thank the many residents who supported Linda Underwood’s campaign with their donations, volunteer time and votes and extend their congratulations to both Mr. Curtis and Mr. Kenney on their re-election.
Club members held their annual election of officers. Retaining his seat as Club president was Ray Ludwig. Olaf Stackleberg and Linda Underwood also retained their positions as treasurer and secretary respectively. Joe Grimaldi took over the reins as Vice President for his first time as an officer and Mickey Doyle was elected as Assistant Secretary, also her first time as an officer.
Club members unanimously voted to make Dev Tobin, a Rensselaer City resident, an honorary club member to thank him for his three years of service as Linda Underwood’s campaign manager and treasurer.
Upcoming club events include a party and another food drive, both after the holidays.
