Yepsen has the right stuff for office

We are writing to support Joanne Yepsen's re-election to the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors. We have full faith and trust in her representing us well. Joanne is personable, productive, positive, and the consummate professional. She makes herself accessible, actively listens, invites others' ideas, helps people identify and meet their needs, and works with, rather than against, others.

She brings this approach to her business, to her numerous volunteer activities as well as to her work on the county Board of Supervisors.

Joanne is a real team player, working with representatives from both parties to promote actions that will improve Saratoga Springs. Her focus is on truly representing all of us, her constituents, rather than only representing one political party or one personality over another. An example of this is her collaborative efforts with Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco to secure funding for nonprofit organizations in our area.

Joanne gets things done. Her involvement has helped clear the Kaydeross logjam, get DPW contracts for the Geyser Road trails project, organize meetings to follow up on local health care initiatives, and keep a local presence in the racing committee meetings in Albany.

Joanne is a much-needed voice of action and of reason for us in Saratoga Springs. We urge all readers to vote for Joanne Yepsen in November. She has the skills and spirit to continue representing us well on the county Board of Supervisors.
