On Election Day it is time to decide who you want to represent you on your town’s issues. As a full-time and fourth generation resident of the Town of Callicoon, I definitely want the candidates representing me and my family who know what it was like to grow up in one of the most beautiful towns in the county.

Tom Bose, Scott Gaebel, Charlie Schadt, Kris Scullion and Edward McKenna are seeking re-election. I have known every one of them, and without a doubt will reassure all residents that they are the best qualified to represent them. Supervisor Tom Bose goes above and beyond to do what is best for the town. His door is always open to hear your concerns. He runs a successful livestock business, spends countless hours as a volunteer fireman and is a family man first and foremost. Scott Gaebel now owns and operates his family’s automotive business and volunteers with the youth of the community. Charlie Schadt has been a councilman for 33 years and has put countless hours into making the right decisions for all the town’s residents. Charlie has been involved with every aspect of the town, especially the town park, which is a benefit to everyone.

All of these candidates live in the Town of Callicoon full-time, raised their families here and work and make a living here. Five of the six gentlemen have attended school here like their parents, grandparents and children. There are no better individuals to make the decisions for the residents of our town.

This has always been a great place to live, grow up and raise a family. People like Tom, Scott, Charlie, Kris and Ed make it that way. No decisions are easy when it comes to running a municipality, but good judgment and common sense will always prevail.
