The Community's Voice

Michele Juda for Transparency and Accountability on the Milton Town Board

In November we have an opportunity to elect a representative to the Town Board who will ensure communication with, and on behalf, of the residents. A representative who understands elected officials are first and foremost accountable to us and not to party. That representative is Michele Juda.

A twenty-six-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 for a statewide nonprofit while continuing service on disability-related advisory boards and councils. Most importantly, Michele cherishes and values 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 appears on the ballot under both the Democratic and Working Families Party lines. Her Democratic affiliation is coupled with Common Ground, the independent body designation we achieved by collecting signatures from more than 500 Town of Milton residents. You may or may not fully align with either party platform that has nominated and endorsed Michele, but there are are areas of shared concern and interest on which we can likely agree.
Michele pledges:
• to conduct herself to the highest ethical standards,
• to ensure a fully informed public, 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 in Milton and if you have ANY concerns about this or the Saratoga County GOP rhetoric that seeks to further divide us, we ask that you join us in casting your vote for what you believe to be the best choice at the place and time we find ourselves, regardless of party affiliation.
Michele will be ONE non-GOP controlled vote on the Milton Town Board; her influence will be limited, but she will provide checks and balances by ensuring the public is informed. If you want to avoid lockstep votes and ensure public discussion, vote ONE and DONE for Michele Juda!
(ONE and DONE: cast only one vote for Michele for the two available Milton council seats. Do not add to vote totals for either of the incumbents.)

Where I Stand

The League of Women Voters recently asked all Town Board candidates in Milton to answer the following questions:

    • What are the two most critical issues facing your office? How do you propose to deal with them?
    • What do you want to achieve during your term?
    • What would you like voters to know about you?

Here are my responses:
