A Democratic Sweep in Bethlehem

11/2/2021

 
 It's a great night for Bethlehem!

From the Town Board, to the Highway Department, all of our candidates won tonight. 

Every. Single. One. 

David DeCancio FLIPPED the Republican seat on the Town Board.

Maureen Cunningham was reelected to the Town Board.

David VanLuven was reelected as Town Supervisor.

Marc Dorsey was reelected as Highway Superintendent.

Andy Kirby was reelected as Town Justice.

Nanci Moquin was reelected as Town Clerk.

But we couldn't have done any of this without you and your support. It sounds cheesy, but think about it: we can post on our website until we're blue in the face. None of it matters unless you get out there and vote. Today, and in the previous weeks of early voting, you did just that.


We are beyond grateful. 
If you’d like to see the detailed results from the Albany County Board of Elections, you can do so here.

​Thanks for your continued support.

Keeping Our Adopted Highway Clean: NY Route 32

6/24/2021

 
Picture
Twice a year for almost the past 10 years, members of the Bethlehem Democratic Committee have dedicated a few weekend hours to something even more gross than asking people for donations: picking up trash.

It's all part of the BDC's commitment to community service and, in this case, keeping our streets clean. The 3-mile stretch of New York State Route 32 between Elsmere Avenue and U.S. Route 9W is kept clean as part of a sponsorship program known as "Adopt-A-Highway."

Bethlehem's Comprehensive Plan And Complete Streets Initiatives To Be Discussed

Highway Superintendent Marc Dorsey is Making Our Community Safer

4/12/2021

 
Picture
Town Supervisor David VanLuven had this to say about the great work Highway Superintendent Marc Dorsey is doing alongside the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee:

"There are now “see me” flags at the Kenwood Ave crosswalk in Slingerlands (by the rail trail parking lot). Our Highway Dept put these out in in partnership with the Town’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee. The approach has worked well in other places, as the more visible pedestrians are, the more frequently drivers stop for them.

During our daily driving, it’s easy to forget how many crosswalks and pedestrians we have in Bethlehem. Let’s all try to be more courteous and stop when someone is trying to cross."

Our Condemnation of George Langdon's Hateful Rhetoric

3/31/2021

 
​The Bethlehem Democratic Committee condemns in the strongest terms the hateful and homophobic statements made by Republican Albany County Legislator George Langdon.

We call on Legislator Langdon to immediately apologize and resign, and we call on our Republican colleagues to join us, to break their deafening silence, and to condemn his statements.

​Hate has no home in Albany County.
