About the Colonie Democratic Committee:

The Colonie Democratic Committee is a political group consisting of citizens, candidates, and elected officials in the Town of Colonie, New York. Together, we are fighting for transparency and accountability in town government, put neighborhoods first, combat pay-to-play corruption, and make Colonie a place young people, families, and seniors can afford.

The Colonie Democratic Platform:

  1. Put Neighborhoods first when making development decisions.

  2. Stop corrupt “pay-to-play” practices that favor campaign contributors.

  3. Make Colonie’s streets safe and walkable.

  4. Support our EMTs, police, and firefighters.

  5. Put an end to Town Hall’s secrecy obsession and insiders club.

  6. Make Colonie a community that seniors and young people can afford.

  7. Restore confidence and competence in Colonie’s Town Court.

  8. Stop raising taxes while cutting services.

Running on this platform, the Democratic Committee’s endorsed candidates won all three Town Board seats on the ballot in 2025 with overwhelming margins. Despite this mandate from voters, the GOP Chairman pledged that our platform “will not see the light of day under the Republican-controlled Town Board.” The four Republicans on the board who oppose this platform are up for reelection in 2027. In the meantime, our Councilmen and County Legislators are doing everything they can to fulfill the promises of our 2025 Democratic Platform.
