My name is Jake Crawford, and I am running for re-election to the Guilderland Town Board.

 

I am running for Town Board because I am passionate about ensuring that Guilderland remains a place where people can live, raise families, and retire happily. I promise to continue to be a leader residents can rely on to provide honest and open communication, transparent decision-making, and to value the needs and perspectives of ALL members of our community.

​

My priorities are:

​

• Government that is transparent, open, and accessible. Clear communication is key for residents to be able to have trust in government, and for government to be able to address resident concerns.

   

• Compassionate services. I will fight for tax relief for seniors, and to better support those who chose to live in Guilderland in their retirement.  We must must modernize our town’s social services to meet contemporary needs for all in our community.

   

• Growing our town’s economic base. As a community we must continue to identify opportunities to grow our economic base in locations that are responsible and sustainable, while continuing to support our small business owners and affording them the opportunity to thrive in Guilderland.  

   

• Improving our infrastructure. It is critical that we invest in our water resources, roads, parks, trails, and open space, and reduce our town’s carbon footprint.  These are essential to supporting resident needs, protecting our natural resources, and preparing Guilderland for the future.

   

• Supporting our strong public school system. Our schools are critical to preparing our children for an uncertain future, and to maintaining the high quality of life that we enjoy.

 

I love this community, and I promise to continue to work hard every day for this town and for every one of you. I hope to earn your vote on November 7!

​

With gratitude,

Jake Crawford
