It’s time for Columbia to have a County Executive.

Lower Taxes • Better Services • Real Accountability

This year, vote to establish a COUNTY EXECUTIVE for Columbia—just like Dutchess, Ulster, and Rensselaer. 

51 upstate counties have professional, full-time leadership.  Why not us?

Accountable Leadership Starts Here.

A COUNTY EXECUTIVE will ensure our $200 million budget is managed responsibly.

1 Lower taxes

Columbia residents experienced tax hikes while our neighboring counties did not.  A COUNTY EXECUTIVE will keep costs down, cut waste, and prioritize affordability.

2 Better Services

Professional leadership will improve services from public safety and housing to our schools and hospital.

3 Effective Advocacy

A full-time leader will be accountable for getting Columbia’s fair share in State and Federal funding to improve our programs and infrastructure.  

Sign the petition and vote YES on November 4th
