Meet and Greet with Tracey Bartels

Come out to the Hoot Owl and support Tracey Bartels in her bid for re-election to the Ulster County Legislature. Share your ideas and concerns with her about where our County should be heading.

“Vote Local” County Legislature Work Party (Kingston)

A coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats currently hold a 2 seat majority on our county legislature. They’ve blocked the Comprehensive Human Rights Law for Ulster County; diluted legislation to protect our immigrant neighbors from cruel deportations; and perpetuated an economic development model that rewards developers at the expense of residents.

Let’s change this in November!
