Getting good people to run for elected office is so difficult these days because of our polarized politics. Thankfully, Yorktown has an opportunity to elect a genuinely good person who cares deeply about our community.
Jenna Lennox Belcastro is exactly the type of person we need in Town Hall serving as our town clerk. I have known Jenna and her family for years, dating back to our time in Mildred E. Strang Middle School, and can attest to her firm commitment and love of Yorktown.
I fully endorse Jenna Lennox Belcastro because of her extraordinary work ethic and her ability to be a great town clerk. I know this because when I served as town supervisor, Jenna was a key member of my team in Town Hall, working with me every day. With her help we cut town taxes for the first time in a generation, managed the COVID-19 crisis, got our local economy moving with projects like Trader Joe’s and Uncle Guiseppe’s, brokered a new a senior center, made record investments in our police and passed important legislation for the environment and economic development. Make no mistake: Jenna was a big part of our success.
However, what Jenna was best at was helping people. She cared for every person who came into our office and showed the level of compassion and empathy we expect out of government. Her experience as a special education teacher prepared her to organize our Accessibilities Committee and the Supervisor’s Youth Council, which were both very successful.
Jenna Lennox Belcastro is the right choice for Yorktown town clerk and I urge all of Yorktown to join me in supporting her.
