About Ann
Rooted in the Hudson Valley
I’m a lifelong Hudson Valley resident, proud to call Saugerties home with my husband, John, and our two children. John works locally as an electrical engineer, and together we chose Saugerties as the perfect place to raise our family.
I graduated from Marist University and built my early career in manufacturing as a project manager, gaining valuable experience in leadership, problem-solving, and working with diverse teams. After starting our family, I dedicated myself to volunteering extensively while being a full-time stay-at-home mom — from youth programs to community events and environmental projects — because I believe in giving back to the place that gives so much to us. Now I work for myself as a digital media consultant, helping small businesses, nonprofits, and political campaigns build their presence, connect with their communities, and amplify their impact.
I’m running for the Ulster County Legislature to bring that same dedication, professional experience, and hands-on community involvement to local government. My goal is simple: to help our towns thrive, our families feel supported, and our community stay strong, welcoming, and full of opportunity for everyone.
Why I'm Running
I’m running for the Ulster County Legislature because I believe our community deserves a representative who listens, takes action, and keeps our towns strong and connected. As a lifelong Hudson Valley resident raising my family in Saugerties, I see firsthand the challenges we face — from supporting small businesses and creating good-paying jobs to protecting our environment and ensuring our neighborhoods remain safe and welcoming.
I want to bring practical solutions, transparency, and accountability to local government. I will work to make sure every resident’s voice is heard, every opportunity is shared, and our communities are supported — especially in times of challenge. My goal is simple: build a stronger, more resilient Ulster County where families, businesses, and neighborhoods can thrive together.
