I'm Wanda Zygmuntowicz and I'm running for
Town Council of Clifton Park, New York
Like many communities in upstate New York, we are facing great challenges. We all know this. However, in our town, it seems as if residents no longer have partners in goverment or leaders who are serving OUR best interests. I know that Town Hall can do better.
It is a town leader's responsibilty to ask the right questions that will answer what our residents need most. As a Town Council member representing YOU, I will work with the town board to ask the questions that will focus us on bringing Town development back into balance, urban sprawl under control, true open space preservation and infrastructure improvement, responsible AND responsive spending, and proactive partnership with ALL residents to balance our cultural, farm and small business community needs instead of focusing merely on the wants of a few with influence or loud voices.
We need fresh thinking and new ideas on how to create and manage workable development policies and well thought out "green" initiatives for Clifton Park. We also need to be more responsible stewards of not only our financial, but also our natural resources, to provide for a healthy and sustainable community for our families and to protect our quality of life. We must lead the Town in a way that benefits ALL of Clifton Park without regard to politics or self interest.
Now is the time to change the Town Board to an actual representative body of our people and to have an open and accountable government with tolerance of different opinions.
The voters of Clifton Park deserve a real choice this November -- to elect a team that 's ready to lead and ready to serve our Town. Clifton Park needs a team with vision for today and tomorrow. A team that knows Town Hall can do better. A new generation of leaders ready to seek creative answers, ready to protect our tax dollars and ready to respect and listen to ALL our residents.
I believe this is our most urgent need and it's why I am running for Town Council.
Between now and Election Day I will hold conversations with as many voters as I can. I hope to find you at home and talk with you about what Clifton Park needs and get your ideas about our priorities. I am convinced that with a focus on identifying the right priorities and through open, respectful and thoughtful governing, we will define and achieve our Town vision for today and tomorrow.
And finally, I hope you will give me and Marty O'Connor (candidate for Town and County Supervisor) your trust and your vote on November 3rd.
Proven leadership. Focused on results. Focused on our future.
