2019 Elections and Candidate Questionnaires!
Press Release
February 20, 2019
Hudson City Democratic Committee
New York State has scheduled primaries for local elective office on June 25, and the
Hudson City Democratic Committee will be looking at candidates much earlier than in prior years.
The petitioning process begins this year on February 26 and concludes in early April.
To be on a party line, including the Democratic line, candidates will need to collect valid
signatures
from 5% of the voters in that jurisdiction enrolled in that party.
Those signature numbers will soon be posted on the Columbia County Board of Elections site.
It is recommended that candidates gather approximately twice as many signatures as will be
legally required.

In the next few weeks, the HCDC will be interviewing candidates seeking to be on the
Democratic line, as part of its endorsement process. Endorsed candidates will receive support
from the HCDC, including assistance with collecting signatures on petitions.
To begin that process, the HCDC has posted a brief questionnaire for candidates on its website,
http://www.hudsoncitydemocrats.org.
We urge candidates, including incumbents, to complete a questionnaire at their earliest
convenience so that we can schedule interviews early in the petitioning process.
Please send completed questionnaires or any questions to: info@hudsoncitydemocrats.org

LOCATION
Hudson's 3rd Ward Votes at St. Mary's Academy

Corner of Third and Allen
SAMPLE BALLOT
I’m voting Democratic (Row A) - all 11 candidates across the top. See below for details on some of the candidates.
KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND FOR US SENATOR (A5)
Gillibrand is a consistent voice against sexual assault. When the right-wing attacked ACORN with misleading and highly edited videos, she was one of the few Senators who stood up for ACORN’s important voter rights work.
PETER LYNCH AND MARGARET WALSH FOR STATE SUPREME COURT (A6 AND A7 - VOTE FOR BOTH)
Walsh and Lynch each have impressive experience and approach the bench with a commitment to fairness.
ANTONIO DELGADO FOR REPRESENTATIVE OF CONGRESS (A8)
Delgado will fight for increased access to quality health care and a fair tax policy. His opponent has been running racist ads and is complicit with Trump’s racist and sexist policy.
AARON GLADD FOR STATE SENATE (A9)
For years, the Republican-led State Senate has blocked important legislation. Now is our chance to flip the Senate. Gladd supports investing in education, women’s rights, and unlocking economic opportunity for all.
DIDI BARRETT FOR MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY (A10)
Barrett has successfully supported local libraries, farms, environment, and economy. She is remarkably accessible, frequently attending local events.
BERNADETTE POWIS FOR CORONER (A15)
The only candidate with medical experience, Powis will work with grieving families with compassion. They can take comfort that she is facing the death scene with a stringent objectivity and making medically-informed decisions.

EDITORIAL:

To the polls!
Bernadette
November 1, 2018 by PARRY TEASDALE
TWO CANDIDATES WITH VERY DIFFERENT sets of credentials are running
against each other for one of the open positions as county coroner. Bernadette
Powis is on the Democratic, Working Families and Women’s Equality lines. Carmen
Martino is running on the Republican and Conservative party.
Mr. Martino, 48, a former state trooper and investigator, was
appointed a coroner earlier this year by the county Board of Supervisors
following the sudden resignation of coroner Dr. Andrea Coleman, a Democrat
elected last year.
Ms. Powis, 70, is registered nurse and nurse practitioner and
certified psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner.
Mr. Martino said in a candidate profile published in last week’s
issue that his career in law enforcement had prepared him for being coroner
because it requires an investigative background and that the post involves
“minimal medical experience.”
That’s one way to look at the job. But there is an equally valid
approach to the position of coroner that acknowledges the paperwork and
research but also emphasizes the human dimension of dealing with the aftermath
of an unattended death.
A coroner is not a medical examiner. But Ms. Powis brings more
to the position than her career in nursing and medicine. As a nurse
practitioner she also has a certification in psychiatric and mental health care.
She understands that in cases of unattended death the coroner becomes “the eyes
and ears of the medical examiner,” who is not at the death scene but will need
critical information from it. She will know what needs to be reported not only
to make meet official requirements but also to explain what is known to the
families of the deceased.
She brings to this task both competence and compassion.
Bernadette Powis should be elected a Columbia County coroner.
Voters take note: Columbia County has three coroner positions.
One is filled by incumbent James Bertram, a former sheriff, another will be
filled by funeral director Mike Blasl, who is running unopposed on the November
6 ballot. The third will be filled by the winner of the race between Carmen
Martino and Bernadette Powis.
