I, as president of the Copake Democratic Club, am proud of the Democrats in Town. We came together in large numbers, approximately 85 of us, to hold an open nominating process, with a secret ballot to allow voters to make their preference without others looking at their choice. We looked at the candidates and saw two qualified men, and chose to provide for an open election in November, with two candidates on the ballot allowing for open discussion of the issues and freedom of choice. That is democracy and that is the path we as Democrats follow.
Thank you Copake Democrats, for attending in such numbers and permitting the entire town to see what we are, what we offer for the future of the Town and how to run an open and effective caucus, allowing anyone present the opportunity to speak and be heard. We look forward to open factual public debate prior to the election in November, and to a Copake Democratic Party united in that democratic process. We will show, that even with a divergence of opinion, we can pull together for the common purpose of electing our candidates dedicated to open government.

Copake Democratic Club President
