General News: Two Announce Re-Election Bid in Town
|
| Councilwoman Mary Beth Greene-Krafft |
|
| Councilman Al Mazzocca |
Two Cornwall town council members are looking ahead to the November elections and announcing their intentions to run for a new four-year term.
Mary Beth Greene-Krafft has served as a member of the council for 11 years and she says that in June she will begin knocking on doors to get the 350 signatures she needs on a nominating petition.
Al Mazzocca, who has served on both the town and village boards, also plans to make another bid for office. Mazzocca has been in his current seat since 2004, a position he also filled in the late 1980s. In 1979, he was elected to the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson board of trustees and lost his bid for village mayor to Ed Moulton in 1980. Moulton appointed Mazzocca to a vacancy on the board the following year.
In a written statement, councilwoman Greene-Krafft described her successful efforts to bring in more than $350,000 in grants during her time in office, including money for new sidewalks, park funding, and an upgrade in court security.
The councilwoman also serves as the town’s deputy mayor and is employed part-time by the Orange County Veterans Service Agency. She is involved in many local organizations, including the Friends of the Cornwall Library and the Cornwall Republican Committee.
At age 82, Mazzocca says he likes to keep busy and still wants to serve. A Peekskill native, Mazzocca moved to Cornwall-on-Hudson in 1954 and was an assistant manager for Grand Union when it built its first grocery store in town, the store that is now Key Foods. He later became a store manager in Rockland County.
The 2009 municipal elections will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.
