Michele Juda for Milton Town Supervisor
This November, we have the opportunity to elect a Town Supervisor who will ensure communication with, and on behalf of, the residents. A representative who understands that elected officials are first and foremost accountable to us, not to party. Someone who knows that this is our town and their commitment to the residents must be evident on day one and every day they serve. That representative is Michele Juda.
A twenty-seven-year resident of the Town of Milton, Michele has been an active citizen voice in town government for many years, frequently calling for transparency and accountability during public comment periods, regardless of which political party held the Supervisor's seat.
Michele and her husband, Mark, raised their two children in Milton and impacted the lives of other Saratoga County children through their service as licensed foster parents. Their youngest son has a developmental disability (shared with permission) and required skilled nursing care well into his teens. This took Michele away from her social work career in long-term care, but after several years as a full-time mother, she emerged as an advocate for family caregivers of people with disabilities, recently completing her tenure as Executive Director of a statewide nonprofit while continuing to serve on disability-related advisory boards and councils. Most importantly, Michele cherishes the character of our small town and wants to ensure that Milton continues to thrive while welcoming all who wish to call our community home.
Michele will appear on the ballot in two places: as the endorsed Democratic candidate and on the Common Ground line. More than 580 Town of Milton residents signed petitions this spring to put Common Ground on the ballot. These residents agree local governance should be about principled leadership and neighbors working together, not party affiliations and petty politics.
Michele pledges:
- to conduct herself to the highest ethical standards,
- to ensure a fully informed public,
- to obtain the Certified Town Official credential, and
- to do her best to understand and represent your needs while working professionally with all elected officials and staff who serve Milton.
Michele's campaign is fully focused on transparency and good governance in Milton. If you are concerned that business is conducted behind closed doors, if you worry about the lack of effective checks and balances, and if you want to see increased community engagement and participation, we ask that you join us in casting your vote for Michele Juda.
The Town of Milton deserves a Supervisor who listens, communicates, and advocates.
