Letter: Shwartz Announces Candidacy

Fri, Oct 07, 2011

I am proud to announce my candidacy for supervisor for the Town of Hamilton.

As the daughter of Yissakhar Shwartz, a naturally optimistic immigrant who built a successful farm on Borden Road., I learned to work hard, treat people fairly and watch the bottom line. As the daughter of Jean Shwartz, a bright woman who woke up an hour earlier than the rest of the family to read the paper, I learned how to balance raising a family with farming and community service.

Over the past 57 years I have built upon those lessons and learned new skills. As a small town attorney I listened to my clients and solved their problems. As a Town Board member I brought community members together to create the Town’s first comprehensive plan. As Executive Director of the PCD I won grants, restored storefronts, and helped small businesses grow right here in Hamilton.  As a farmer selling “Sun Fed Beef”, I combined a great product with loyal customers to grow our farm business. As co- chair of STOP NYRI, I learned that the “Davids” of the world can beat “Goliath”, provided they are willing to work with all parties, take the time to learn the details of the issue, and have the courage to stand up for their convictions.

If I am elected supervisor I will listen to the views and needs of Town residents and apply my business skills and work ethic to restore the Town’s bottom line. I will work with Town residents and members of neighboring communities to implement shared services and secure grant funding to make our Town efficient and cost effective. I will treat Town employees fairly and make sure that Town taxpayers are fairly assessed and taxed. I will lead Town residents in planning for major issues that lie ahead, including the safe and environmentally responsible extraction of natural gas. I will “stand up” for our Town at all levels of government.

 I ask for your vote for Town Supervisor on November 8 so that I may bring these skills and experiences to work for you.

Eve Ann Shwartz,
