Albany is fiscally stronger today than it was 12 years ago. That didn’t happen by chance.

Under Mayor Kathy Sheehan’s leadership, we were able to:

✔️ 12 consecutive balanced budgets — no deficit spending, year after year
✔️ Capital City Funding secured — growing from $12.5M to $20M annually, finally recognizing that 64% of Albany is tax-exempt
✔️ Landfill life extended — protecting a critical revenue source and avoiding a financial cliff

Even through a global pandemic, Albany stayed balanced.

#Albany: it’s been an honor and privilege of a lifetime to serve the residents of the City of Albany over the past 16 years — 4 as your City Treasurer, and the last 12 as your Mayor.

I truly believe our future has never been brighter, and that’s why I am so excited to share with you who I voted for in this Democratic Primary to become our next Mayor and next Chief City Auditor.

Keeping people safe and delivering essential city services is not a “game,” Dan. That’s why we are so concerned.

Being Mayor is a serious job where people’s lives and Albany’s neighborhoods actually weigh in the balance.

When I took office, all you had to do was drive around our red-lined neighborhoods to see what those who defined politics as a “game” had done to our working class families.

We can’t go back.
