ALMOST THERE!
Help us get this across the finish line!
Fifty-eight other counties have made the shift to professional, full-time leadership. Why not us?
It’s time for Columbia County to modernize. An elected county executive will bring accountability, strategic direction, and year-round leadership.
They’ll be accountable to us, not other politicians.
Want to help? Donate or Volunteer today!
We deserve better.
A county executive will fight for Columbia County’s fair share of state and federal funding and make sure we’re not overlooked when it comes to infrastructure, technology, and essential services.
Let’s move Columbia County Forward, sign up to volunteer, and visit our website to learn more!

Wolf Road between Central Avenue and Albany Shaker Road
(3 Wolf Road, Colonie, NY 12205)
RSVP for No Kings rally in Albany
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.
On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.
The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.
On June 14, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out www.nokings.org for more information.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
