On Tuesday, June 28, registered Democrats in the 95th Assembly District, which includes the Village of Croton-on-Hudson, will have the chance to vote on their choice to be the Democratic candidate for Assembly. This will be the first time since 1992 that there is an open seat without an incumbent in the race. 

The 2022 election is a once-in-a generation event. In this historic Democratic primary, I encourage my fellow Democrats to cast a ballot for a historic candidate: Colin Smith.

Colin is a proven leader. As a county legislator, he helped lead the police reform task force and helped pass legislation to protect abortion rights and promote gun safety.

Colin has a progressive vision for our state and our district. He supports a green energy economy, healthcare for all and affordable housing.

I am inspired by the diverse coalition that has emerged to support Colin Smith. A broad coalition of labor unions, representing building trades, building services, nurses and teachers have endorsed Colin. 

Colin is a person that can unify our district and I encourage Democrats to unite behind him.

Brian Pugh, Mayor
