MOVE ULSTER COUNTY FORWARD YOUR COUNTY! • YOUR TOWN! • YOUR VOICE!
BOLD & VISIONARY leaders don’t come along every day. This November we can vote to transform our County and Town into a model progressive government that listens to and cares for all of its citizens.
Elect a visionary Executive who embraces the future Pat Ryan will implement a Green New Deal to protect our environment and create jobs, promote economic development that benefits everyone, and ensure that Ulster County remains a beacon of social justice. Since taking office in June, Pat has signed executive orders to implement a Green New Deal for Ulster and to bar county employees from cooperating with ICE. Pat has also established a new agency to confront the opioid crisis and has already secured $3M in funding. Re-elect Pat Ryan as Ulster County Executive.
Flip the Ulster County Legislature solidly blue! A legislature with a secure Democratic majority can partner with the County Executive and all other branches of government without obstruction to move progressive change forward and build a more prosperous future for all who live & work in Ulster County. Re-elect Lynn Archer to the Ulster County Legislature—Dist. 21.
Ulster is ready to lead on Justice Reform Last year we elected Juan Figueroa as Ulster County Sheriff—now it’s time to finish what we started and deliver comprehensive justice reform to Ulster County. The 2019 election is a watershed opportunity to transform our broken justice system into one that makes our community stronger and safer with justice for all. Elect Dave Clegg as Ulster County District Attorney & Bryan Rounds as Ulster County Court Judge.
Shine a light and follow the money March Gallagher is committed to smart auditing & making complex financial data accessible and widely available to the public as open source data. Elect March Gallagher as Ulster County Comptroller.

Voting is easier & more convenient than ever before For the first time in New York State, you can vote in-person at seven different sites across Ulster County, nine days before Election Day, on November 5. You can vote at any of the seven Early Voting Centers.
How does early voting work? Voting during “early voting” is the same as voting on Election Day. When you get to the Early Voting Center, you will check in to vote, receive your ballot and vote as in any other election. • If you vote during the early voting period, you are not eligible to vote on Election Day, November 5. Early voting results will be tallied and reported after the polls close at 9 pm on Election Day.
Where do I go to vote early? You can vote early in the Town of Rochester at the Accord Firehouse located at 22 Main Street. Visit VoteUlster.com for the locations of all seven countywide Early Voting Centers.
