In celebration of the Cornwall Democratic Committee’s annual Fired Up! Fundraiser we asked our candidates what they are Fired Up about. Here are their answers:
Anthony Grice, for County Clerk
“I’m Fired Up because we have an opportunity to make the Clerk and DMV services more accessible, efficient, and friendly to all of the residents of Orange County. For too many years, the previous administration has done the minimum, offering status quo services, that have not made anything better for most people in Orange County.”
Matt Rettig, for County Legislature, District 12
“I’m Fired Up to expose and fight corruption in the Orange County government. I’m Fired Up to shed daylight on the operations of the Orange County government. I’m Fired Up to champion renewable energy development; to prevent poorly sited, high-density housing from changing the character of Orange County forever.”
Joshua Wojehowski, for Cornwall Town Supervisor
“After a decisive victory in the Democratic Primary, I am Fired Up to take my winning message into the general election and bring new energy, and new leadership to create a solid vision for Cornwall’sfuture starting on January 1, 2022. Together we can keep Cornwall affordable, modernize government, revitalize Main Street and bring much needed transparency, accountability and oversight to local government.”
Virginia Scott, for Town Board
“As a Councilwoman and long-term volunteer on Main Street and Chadeayne Circle I am Fired Up about how the pieces are coming together for the beautification of our town and improvement of our Main Street! This project is a collaboration between the Town, County, and Senator Skoufis.”
Rokhsha Michael-Razi, for Town Board
“I’m Fired Up to bring back a vibrant Main Street. I’m Fired Up to see more activities for Cornwall’s youths, to give them a Cornwall they will be able to afford to live in, and a Cornwall that they will want to raise their children in.”
Laura Delacruz, for Town Clerk
“I am Fired Up about serving the people of Cornwall! I am fired up to give the people of Cornwall all of my attention and energy and to provide the service they want and deserve!”
Dina Ronsini, for Receiver of Taxes
“It is not easy to get Fired Up about paying your taxes. If elected, I will bring my 30 years of customer service experience in the foodservice industry and as a small business owner to the duties of Receiver of Taxes. I will treat the residents of Cornwall with the respect and consideration you deserve.”
